GetFileList and IfFileExists problems

[gummybear]

Hello all,

I am trying to copy files from one folder to another.

Source = C:\Temp
Destination = C:\Temp2

I want to run the macro every 10 minutes or so, and copy NEW files from Source to Destination.

My problem is, the results for GetFileList doesn't just give the file name, but its entire path like file_names_1 = C:\Temp\File1.txt

So I can't use IfFileExists on C:\Temp2\file_names_%1%. I think it would come out like C:\Temp2\C:\Temp\File1.txt which doesn't work.

The template I'm using is:

Code: Select all

GetFileList>c:\temp\*.*,files
Separate>files,;,file_names

Let>k=0

Repeat>k
  Let>k=k+1
  IfFileExists>C:\Temp2\something
     *Do nothing*
  Else
     *CopyFile*
  Endif
Until>k,file_names_count

I don't have any programming experience so I'm asking for help in simple Macro Scheduler language commands. Thank you.

So I can't use IfFileExists on C:\Temp2\file_names_%1%. I think it would come out like C:\Temp2\C:\Temp\File1.txt which doesn't work.

So you could do:

Let>this_file=file_names_%k%
StringReplace>this_file,Temp,Temp2,this_file
IfFileExists>this_file
..
..

That works perfectly, thank you.
