Hi All. Thanks Sarah for the help again.
Hooray it is now working.
I simply deleted the "URL list" I though if field 1 is a list, then asking to put field 1 somewhere would do the trick.
I'll post the app source later. It would be usefull for anyone wanting to search a directory for a filetype and copy it somewhere else.
Thanks again
Bob
What I need is code, that when a button is clicked, will copy (or move) the files listed in field 1 or gHierList (which ever the list is in) from the source directory to a directory of the users choice.Yes, this will give you a path to the chosen destination folder.
I assume that to chose a destination directory you would use. on mouseUp answer folder "Please choose a folder:" end mouseUp
What happens next depends on whether you want to copy all your raw.pic files in a single destination directory or whether you want to re-create their original folder structure in the destination directory.
I want to copy all the files in a directory from the C:\drive IE the files listed to another drive but only the one destination folder and I odnt need to preserve the directory structure.
Assuming the former (& easier), here is what I would do:
Yep the former
answer folder "Please choose a folder:" put it into destFolder set the itemDelimiter to "/" put field "URL list" into theFiles
repeat for each line f in theFiles put destFolder & "/" & last item of f into newFile revCopyFile f, newFile end repeat
This is untested, has no error checking and provides no user feedback, but it should be enough to get you started. The "repeat for each" loop is always the fastest way to loop through any list.
OK tried this and got a message executing at 10:27:44 AM Type Chunk: no such object Object Plonk Them Here Line put field "URL list" into theFiles Hint URL list
then i thought that the gHierList was put into field 1 so I added a 1 and got
compiling at 10:29:16 AM Type Handler: bad command Object Plonk Them Here Line put field 1 "URL list" into theFiles Hint URL list
Any ideas?
I really appreciate the help here. This is something for work so I'm keen to get it finished, then I can relax and learn the app development in time.
PS genesearch.com.au
see sig. I am designing this app (we you all are) for my biorad confocal file transfer.
