Hi, Charles--
Good idea.
I¹m trying to compare two folders, a Source Folder and a Target Folder. I
then want to find if any files that are missing -- which exist in one folder
but not in the other. In the list of files for both sides, I¹d like to see
the filename, and the absolutepath for the file. As a last step, I want to
be able to have a pushbutton copy any files which don¹t exist in one over to
the other, in the same location relative to the root folder examined.
I¹ve done some further testing, and found something odd with the recursion.
TargetName = TargetFolder.Item(index).Name
TargetPath = TargetFolder.Item(index).AbsolutePath
TargetList.AddRow itemInFolder.Name
TargetDict.Value(TargetName) = TargetPath
TargetList.Cell(TargetList.LastIndex,1)=ReplaceAll(TargetPath,":","/")
In this snippet, the path is assigned to a variable. When used this way, the
paths all come out wrong. But, when the variable is not used:
TargetName = TargetFolder.Item(index).Name
TargetPath = TargetFolder.Item(index).AbsolutePath
TargetList.AddRow itemInFolder.Name
TargetDict.Value(TargetName) = TargetPath
TargetList.Cell(TargetList.LastIndex,1)=ReplaceAll(itemInFolder.Absolutepath
,":","/")
The paths now come out right.
I did a search for FolderItemTrue, and ItemTrue in the LR and found nothing.
Could you tell me how to change my code to have this be used? It¹s obviously
what I need anyway, since I want an accurate representation of the two
folders.
But the main problem I¹m having now is with both the copying and the way the
filenames are being stored in the dictionaries. Basically, they are being
truncated to OS9 style filename length: ³This is an OS X filename which can
have a lot of characters and so on and so on.txt² to ³This is an OS X
filena#87653f5².
All My Best,
Jeffrey
