Little BackerUpper: I just wrote a proggie for file backup :)

[R.L]

http://home.earthlink.net/ringomei/FilebackerUpper062304b.zip

<DANCING A JIG AROUND THE APARTMENT>
Brilliant! I am just in awe. This worked beautifully!

.I
don't know why the instabilities occurred with yesterday's
version but this new one works like a charm! You even got
the minimize and maximize functions. Sheesh, nothing
missing here! <g> [snipped]

I use a new Auto2exe complier this time

Also, there are a ton of uses on a home computer for this
app. I have my hdd partitioned so keep copies of vital
files on the D drive. LFBU will take care of all that now
where I used to do it in PowerPro.

I am gladed that you find it useful. I will leave it as is
for now for a while so users can report potiential bugs (there
shouldn't be, but just in case), before I announce a standard
non-beta release. So, please let me know if more bugs are
found.

What I plan to do, and
hope this works alright, is to just have different
instances of LFBU for those back up jobs that need to be
split up because they go into different destination
folders.

I am working on having different backup profiles with
commandline support, because I myself will have use for it,
too. The idea is just to use a differnt ini file for each
profile. Perhaps in the next version.
(BTW, you cannot have multiple instances of LFBU at the same
time, it won't allow you. So make sure you do the backup
seperately)

Thanks so much, RL! I imagine there was a lot of blood,
sweat, tears (and cursing <g>) to get this far! I write
databases myself and such, so I know what an achievement
this tiny big app is! <g>

You're welcomed. I'm happy to share it with this group

Hi, RL! Feedback for Little File Backer-Upper ...

I used the app at the office. Perfect sailing all the way!
Everything worked just great.

The new window size was bigger but, believe it or not, not big enough
to accommodate those incredibly long paths on the network. But the
maximize did the trick and then they fit with room to spare.

Everything worked great. No problems encountered whatsoever!
Excellent work, RL! You have a winner!

New version does the job so the new compiler must be a whole lot

I am gladed that you find it useful. I will leave it as is
for now for a while so users can report potiential bugs (there
shouldn't be, but just in case), before I announce a standard
non-beta release. So, please let me know if more bugs are
found.

I tried it several times today and found that it works perfectly so
far. I tested it out at home, too, and it passed with flying colours!

There is only one thing I found that bears mentioning because it might
be considered a bit of a glitch, though an extremely minor one. I
happened to have the LFBU folder open a couple of times and then tried
to run LFBU. I kept getting the message that LFBU was running and
that was worrying. I even rebooted and everything. Turns out it was
very minor, LFBU doesn't like the folder to be open at the same time
one is trying to run it. No big deal at all. I have no problem with
that. In fact, I don't even consider that a glitch at all, it's just
something to be aware of.

I am working on having different backup profiles with
commandline support, because I myself will have use for it,
too. The idea is just to use a differnt ini file for each
profile. Perhaps in the next version.

seperately)

Oh, yes. I imagine that that would be the case. I was thinking of
having different instances in different _folders_, not that they would
be running simultaneously. I figured I'd have one folder for my
toolbars and templates instance and another for important files, etc.

You're welcomed. I'm happy to share it with this group

You have a winner! After all the messing about over a period of a
couple of years searching for just such a thing, and your LFBU does
the trick so easily! To tell you the truth, to me, this one is
already Pricelessware! <g> No fooling!

Right, LFBU doesn't like to have any windows that has its name
on it to be running when it is working, just to avoid
interference. You know, it constantly modifies or access the
ini file and a temp file in its folder while you are changing
the setting or using the program, hence it is safer if its
folder is not opened.

Oh, yes. I imagine that that would be the case. I was
thinking of having different instances in different
_folders_, not that they would be running simultaneously.

R.L., just went through past AI messages. <Tearing hair out> I can't
believe that the 3 script helpers I have DON'T help me at all <lol>.
I see that my initial impressions of AI of past few years still hold
true despite the great strides. This is _not_ a program for the
fainthearted! <sigh>

Scite might be of help to programmers who already have some sort of
programming language, but I'd _really_ love to see something that
actually helps a non-programmer, even if they're a power user as I am.
I was hoping that between the 3 script helpers I have that I could
figure out what some of the syntax problems I'm having; but that
hasn't been the case.

Ah, well. Thanks for this app. I'll keep slogging away <lol>.

Hey, you have downloaded the lastest AutoIt beta, right? Go
see and find that "autowriterIII" come with AutoIt, it can
record macro if you don't want to write everything up. I
think you may find it useful.

Well, I did dl III AI script recorders but I guess it's just me, I
can't get them to work. It gives the two quotation marks, just like I
have, you see. But the end result is the same. I'll try this other
now. Perhaps it's more intuitive?

Thanks!

I might not have getting your example most accurately, but I
have sucess in entering double quotes by making it embeded in
single quote in AI e.g. '"' & "book" & '"' will give "book".

That program wasn't in my installation. I've asked over at a web
forum re this.

p.s., anyone know if there is a newsgroup for AutoIt, by any chance?
I just _hate_ web forums! <sigh>

Thanks!

<sign> I hate it, too. All the mouse clicking and slow
loanding on the browser are just killing me and hurt my finger
(browsing and clicking on link is almost the hardest to do
keyboarding). Comparing to coming here with xnews, just quick
and easy.

It is a good forums, though.

I wish there was a .scripting.autoit newsgroup

I wish that, me too.

R. L., since you're already so expert in AutoIt language, did you never
think about writing a tutorial for those, like me, interested to learn it
but still at the beginning of the road?
I'd appreciate it a lot!!!

......, if I am really an *expert*, I wouldn't mind, but
unfortunitely, I am *NO* expert in AutoIt at all.... there are
much, I mean *MUCH MUCH* more knowledgable people here (e.g.,
Larry, one of the big guy in AI, is arround here, too).

I am really also sort a beginner, too (really, if you know
better and look at the codes I wrote, you will see what I mean).

Having said that, I think there are a couple of things that I
found I learned very useful. They actually brought me further
away from my simple bat writing to AutoIt. If you want to go a
bit further, here are a few areas worth to dig into the examples
in the help files:

- how to use "variable"
- how to use if...end if statment (and then use select...case,
and while...wend)
- how make simple gui

These are the few things I found helping me go from simple Dos
bat writing and to write more fun script with AI. But again, I
am turely no expert in AutoIT :-I

Wow, for a beginner, you sure do a great imitation of an expert! <g>

Got the word on AU3AutoWriter III. It's available for dl here:
http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/Larry/

It works much better than the other 2 or 3 I tried. Can't remember
the number, just that they were awful! AU3AWIII writes a _lot_ of
extraneous code because it literally records every single thing you do
on the keyboard (shift key down, shift key up, etc. instead of just
writing the capital letters). But that doesn't matter. I used my
cleaner code everwhere but where the trouble was, with the quotation
marks.

So here's how the working scipt looks:



******************************************************
;
; AutoIt v3.0
;


Send("{enter}{enter}<{!}--HTML doc's URL{:}-->{enter}<b><font
color={#}00FFFF><A
HREF={SHIFTDOWN}''{SHIFTUP}>{enter}{enter}<{/}A><{/}b><{/}font>{enter}<br>{enter}<br>{enter}<br>{enter}
{enter}{enter}{enter}{up}{up}{up}{up}{up}{up}{up}{up}{left}{left}{left}")


Exit
; Finished!
******************************************************

The {SHIFTDOWN}''{SHIFTUP} avoided the quotation marks conflicting
with the send syntax.

Just an fyi.

Thanks for all the help, everyone! This scriptwriter should cut down
a lot of the problems for me as I use this type of scripting mostly
for repetitive typing/keystrokes.

Cheers!
