Par2: Copy all files in one directory to another
2002-12-11 -- John Christ
 
> Is there a simple way to copy all the files in one folder to another?

There may be a simpler way, but this works:

GLOBAL embeds, Before File Declarations
SHFileOp LIKE(SHFILEOPgroup)
!
! Shell File Operations
!
FO_MOVE                    EQUATE(0001h)
FO_COPY                    EQUATE(0002h)
FO_DELETE                  EQUATE(0003h)
FO_RENAME                  EQUATE(0004h)

FOF_MULTIDESTFILES         EQUATE(0001h)
FOF_CONFIRMMOUSE           EQUATE(0002h)
FOF_SILENT                 EQUATE(0004h)  ! don't create progress/report
FOF_RENAMEONCOLLISION      EQUATE(0008h)
FOF_NOCONFIRMATION         EQUATE(0010h)  ! Don't prompt the user.
FOF_WANTMAPPINGHANDLE      EQUATE(0020h)  ! Fill in
SHFILEOPSTRUCT.hNameMappings
                                          ! Must be freed using
SHFreeNameMappings
FOF_ALLOWUNDO              EQUATE(0040h)
FOF_FILESONLY              EQUATE(0080h)  ! on *.*, do only files
FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS         EQUATE(0100h)  ! means don't show names of files
FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR         EQUATE(0200h)  ! don't confirm making any needed
dirs
FOF_NOERRORUI              EQUATE(0400h)  ! don't put up error UI
FOF_NOCOPYSECURITYATTRIBS  EQUATE(0800h)  ! dont copy NT file Security
Attributes
FOF_NORECURSION            EQUATE(1000h)  ! don't recurse into directories.
FOF_NO_CONNECTED_ELEMENTS  EQUATE(2000h)  ! don't operate on connected
elements.
FOF_WANTNUKEWARNING        EQUATE(4000h)  ! during delete operation, warn if
nuking instead of recycling (partially overrides FOF_NOCONFIRMATION)

SHFILEOPgroup         GROUP, TYPE
hwnd                  UNSIGNED
wFunc                 UNSIGNED
pFrom                 LONG
pTo                   LONG
fFlags                USHORT
fAnyOperationsAborted LONG
hNameMappings         LONG
lpszProgressTitle     LONG
  END

==========

GLOBAL embeds, Inside the Global Map

MODULE('Windows.lib')
  SHFileOperation(LONG pSHFILEOPgroup), LONG, PASCAL, RAW, DLL,
NAME('SHFileOperationA')
END

==========

Data

Source CSTRING(256)
Destination CSTRING(256)

==========

Insert this where you want to perform the copy:

Source = 'C:\TheSourceDirectory\*.*' & '<0>'
Destination = 'C:\TheDestinationDirectory'

CLEAR(SHFileOp)
SHFileOp.hWnd   = 0{PROP:Handle}
SHFileOp.wFunc  = FO_COPY
SHFileOp.pFROM  = ADDRESS(Source)
SHFileOp.pTo    = ADDRESS(Destination)
SHFileOp.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION + FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR

I# = SHFileOperation(ADDRESS(SHFileOp))
