 Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2020 9:04 am Post subject: Using shellExecute to execute `Yes to ALL!` |
 |
|
Thank you @Dark Byte your suggestion to look in savesession.lua
solved my problem of enabling Next Scan but with it a new problem arosed.
Thing is Im using this code | Code: | | shellExecute('xcopy','\"'..dir1..'\" \"'..dir2..'\"') |
to copy all files, where dir1 holds the directory of the scan tab to be cloned and dir2 holds the directory of the scan tab created as a cloned.
As you can see by using this:
| Code: | MainForm.scanvalue.Text='982451653'
MainForm.vartype.itemindex=3
MainForm.scantype.itemindex=0
MainForm.btnNewScan.doClick() |
before using shellExecute, it creates some files in dir2 with the same name as of dir1 so when I execute my code a cmd appears which asks me to replace files. I have to click y multiple times to make my script successful.
What I want to ask you guys is How to use shellExecute so that it will replace all the files in dir2 without opening cmd to ask me to click y again and again.
And if there is another way to do it than using shellExecute then plz tell me.

Assume Dir1 is source directory and Dir2 is destination directory.
| Code: | | shellExecute('xcopy',"D:\\Dir1 D:\\Dir2 /K /D /H /Y") |
/K = Copies files and retains the read-only attribute on Destination files if present on the Source files. By default, xcopy removes the read-only attribute.
/D = Copies source files changed on or after the specified date only. If you do not include a MM-DD-YYYY value, xcopy copies all Source files that are newer than existing Destination files. This command-line option allows you to update files that have changed.
/H = Copies files with hidden and system file attributes. By default, xcopy does not copy hidden or system files
/Y = Suppresses prompting to confirm that you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
Complete xcopy parameters:

Thanks! It Works .But when files to be copied are heavy it opens cmd. Is there any way to keep it hidden no matter how long it takes?
Also I heard there is an os.execute function. How does this work and is it
somehow related to shellExecute, if yes then how can I use it to do what I did with shellExecute

To avoid cmd window pop-up / flashing:
| Code: | --shellExecute show defines:
SW_HIDE = 0
SW_MAXIMIZE = 3
SW_MINIMIZE = 6
SW_NORMAL = 1
SW_RESTORE = 9
SW_SHOW = 5
SW_SHOWDEFAULT = 10
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE = 7
SW_SHOWNA = 8
SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE = 4
SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
cmd = 'xcopy /E /K /O /Y "D:\\Dir1" "D:\\Dir2"'
shellExecute("cmd.exe", "/c "..cmd, 0, SW_HIDE) |
Using os.execute (but with cmd window pop-up). You need to make a batch file to run the batch file with some command to avoid cmd window pop-up.
| Code: | os.execute('xcopy /E /K /O /Y D:\\Dir1 D:\\Dir2')
-- or
io.popen('xcopy /E /K /O /Y D:\\Dir1 D:\\Dir2') |
Note:
os.execute is Lua function and shellExecute is CE Lua function, if I am not wrong.
