AX 2012 - X++ copy folders

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all,

I have a 'master_folder' folder. In this folder has 8 sub-folders.

My question: How to use the X++ to copy these sub-folders from 'master_folder' to another folder?

Thanks.

    Hi,

    As far I know, you need to create sub-folder structure into another folder (into destination folder) and then copy the sub-folder files accordingly.

    hello Simon,

    Just check the WinAPI class in x++, you may find the relevant methods to perform this operation.

    Hi Simon,

        Just try this code. it will give you the folder name with sub folders. and then use WINAPI for copying the same.

    static void Johnkrish_FolderFind(Args _args)
    {
    int k; // counter for result loop
    container dirs; // container for result
    filePath path = @"E:\JohnkrishFolder"; // input path

    container getDirectories(str _dir, boolean _inclSubDirs = true)
    {
    container dList; // container to cast array into
    int i; // counter for array loop
    System.Array directories; // array for result from .NET call
    #Define.Pattern("*") // input pattern: * = all
    ;

    // assert interoppermissions for .NET interop
    new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop).assert();

    // get directories using .NET interop
    if(_inclSubDirs)
    {
    // include subdirectories
    directories = System.IO.Directory::GetDirectories(_dir, #Pattern, System.IO.SearchOption::AllDirectories);
    }
    else
    {
    // only top directory
    directories = System.IO.Directory::GetDirectories(_dir, #Pattern, System.IO.SearchOption::TopDirectoryOnly);
    }

    // loog .NET array and put the values in a container for easier use in x++
    for( i=0;i<ClrInterop::getAnyTypeForObject(directories.get_Length()); i++ )
    {
    dList = conins(dList, conlen(dList)+1, ClrInterop::getAnyTypeForObject(directories.GetValue(i)));
    }

    // revert assertion to prevent multiple calls to the assert() method
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();

    // return result container
    return dList;
    }
    ;

    // get directories
    dirs = getDirectories(path);

    // use optional parameter to disable sub directories
    // dirs = getDirectories(path, false);

    // print the result
    for(k=1;k<= conlen(dirs); k++)
    {
    // print the result to screen
    info(conpeek(dirs, k));
    }

    // we're done
    info("Completed");


    }

    Hi Anil,

    WinAPI no copy folders, it has copy file.
