Copy only new files

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

Hi,

I use copyfile() to copy files from one PC to another.
Now I want to change this by only copy the new files, and the existing files with a newer timestamp.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Now I make an arrat with al the files, and with a for next loop, copy the files.
I now I can first check if the file is new or newer, and add only those to my array, but I was wonder there was an option to to copyfile-function to copy only the new and newer files.

Maybe you could use this function :

Code: Select all  Expand view

STATIC FUNCTION cDaTime(cPathFile)

   LOCAL aDirectory := DIRECTORY(cPathFile)

RETURN(IF(EMPTY(aDirectory),SPACE(30),DTOS(aDirectory[1,3])+aDirectory[1,4]+STR(aDirectory[1,2],14,0)))
 

And then you can use this function this way :

Code: Select all  Expand view

IF !FILE(cFile2) .OR. cDaTime(cFile1) > cDaTime(cFile2)
   CopyFile(...)
ENDIF

Good luck.
