I'm trying to cut a folder. I've tried directoy.move(string source,string dest) & directoryinfo.moveto(dest) but in both case an exception was thrown "Source and destination path must have identical roots. Move will not work across volume".
You cannot move files and folders across different volumes with Directory.Move. You have to create the directory at the destination, recursively copy the files across then, on success, delete the files at the source or, as Tim suggested in the comments below, recursively create the directory structure then move the files across with File.Move.

As the title suggests I am trying to copy all files with a specific extension, within a folder structure, to blob storage without recreating the local folder structure;
This works fine when I run the following;
azcopy cp 'H:\folder1\folder2\*.txt' 'https://storage.blob.core.windows.net/folderA/folderB/?saskey'
This copies all *.txt files to /folderB
I have tried many variations of the following;
azcopy.exe cp 'H:\folder1\*\*' 'https://storage.blob.core.windows.net/folderA/folderB/?saskey' --recursive --include-pattern '*.txt'
Regardless of what I try I end up with the following;
/folderA/folderB
/folder1/fileA.txt
/folder2/fileB.txt
I was under the impress that is what the "--recursive" switch was for, but what I am doing is either not supported or my syntax is wrong.
I have read through this;
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-files#use-wildcard-characters
I could probably script it with something similar to this;
AzCopy - Wildcards In Middle Of Pattern?
But was hoping this was built-in functionality
What you are looking for is not supported. Using --recursive would result in the subdirectory structure of the source retained in the destination. I am not aware of any flag to prevent that.
Actually that helps to avoid conflict. Let's say for example, you have files /folder1/fileA.txt and /folder2/fileA.txt in source. If you try to copy flat in destination (without subpath), that would have caused conflict since both file names are fileA.txt.
I am trying to write a batch file that takes a backup using temporary folders and a "sub-batch" file that needs to be deleted once all backups are completed.
The method I'm trying to use copies a batch file to the main directory, opens multiple instances of this batch which create "temp" folders, then they remove the temp folder once they are done their business.
I want to implement a command at the end of the sub-batch that checks if any folders with the word "temp" exist in the directory, then delete the sub-batch if none exist.
I have tried many iterations, but this is what I kind of ended at before asking this question:
rd %TempFolder% /S /Q
cd C:\BackupDirectory
if exist C:\BackupDirectory\*_Temp_*\ goto :unconnect
del subBatch.bat
:unconnect
I realize that this won't work, but I can't find a good way to find the string "temp" in the sub-directory name.
Any help is appreciated.
if FileCopy(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\SPECTRUMJOBS_Data.MDF'),

False) then
I tried the above one but I am not able to copy because there is no folder named DATA in the location.
so please help me to copy the DATA folder and the file
To force creation of directories you can use (text is from InnoSetup help):
Prototype:
function ForceDirectories(Dir: string): Boolean;
Description:
Creates all the directories along the specified directory
path all at once. If the first directories in the path do exist, but
the latter ones don't, ForceDirectories creates just the ones that
don't exist. Returns True if successful, False otherwise.
InnoSetup documentation is at ishelp
You answered yourself. If there is no folder DATA in folder MSSQL, the folder must be created first.
And... if there is no folder MSSQL in folder MSSQL11.LOGISTICS, that folder must be created first.
And so on...
Now read the above sentences in reverse order, and you're done.
I am writing winscp script in VBA to synchronize certain files from remote to local.
The code I am using is
""synchronize -filemask=""""*.xlsx"""" local C:\Users\xx\Desktop /JrnlDetailSFTPDirect""
There are three xlsx files: 14.xlsx, 12.xlsx, 13.xlsx. However, seems like it is running through all the files even though it is not synchronizing them. Besides, one folder under JrnlDetailSFTPDirect is also downloaded from remote, which is not expected.
Is it possible to avoid looping through all the files, just selecting those three files and downloading them?
Thanks
There are separate masks for files and folders.
To exclude all folders, use */ exclude mask:
synchronize -filemask="*.xlsx|*/" local C:\Users\xx\Desktop /JrnlDetailSFTPDirect
See How do I transfer (or synchronize) directory non-recursively?
I cannot tell anything regarding the other problem, as you didn't show us names of the files. Ideally, append a session log file to your question. Use /log switch like:
winscp.com /log=c:\writablepath\winscp.log /command ...
I know that, whatever data is placed in package/component dir/data, will be copied to the install directory. What I mean is if I have a binary, readme, license.txt inside package/component dir/data/myapp, package/component dir/data/readme, package/component dir/data/license.txt and if I choose my target installation dir to be “/opt/myfirstapp”, then inisde /opt/myfirstapp, I will have 3 files copied, myapp, readme, license.txt.
Having said that, I also have a “/usr” directory with in package/component dir/data/, however this is not the standard “/usr” which will be inside root “/”, it is just a replica. Now inside my replica “/usr” I have some directory hierarchy and some files, like /usr/bin/myapp, /usr/lib/libmyapp.so, /usr/share/icons” and many more, infact a lot. Now I want the replica “/usr” content to be copied to “/usr” (the original usr inside root folder). I should also make sure that I just add new contents to “/usr” (root /usr), but delete any existing content.
Question is clear, some files inside my data directory will have to go to target install dir, but some selected ones (for ex: /usr) will have to be copied to other paths. How do I achieve this.
Currently we have the same problem in my company: we need 2 target directories, one for the exe and one for the libraries (well, it's a bit more complex but in few words...).
After having spoken with Qt support and got the answer that it's actually not possible ("It is possible only after extracting. After extraction, you can use copy or move operation, unfortunately there is currently no other way.") I decided to use the AdminTargetDir as the second target directory. This because there's no other way to pass dynamic variables to the IFW. So after installation I call a "finalizeInstall_patch.bat" file passing the TargetDir and AdminTargetDir and this will move the libraries directory from TargetDir to AdminTargetDir. Why a .bat patch file ? because it's actually not possible to move a directory using the methods provided by the IFW. Qt support just opened a suggestion-ticket for our problem: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTIFW-595
I hope that this answer will help others having same similar problems.
NOTE: There is a way to move a directory (on Windows), calling addOperation("Execute", "cmd /C move source dest...") but this brings to other problems out of topic here.
This worked for us (Qt Installer, macOS):
var args = ["cp", "-R", "#TargetDir#/MyApp.app", "/Applications"];
component.addOperation("Execute", args);
