moveto no confirmation

Post by swan_x »

it's possible move one file from folder to folder and overwrite old version of this file but whitout confirmation?
with script: moveto "D:\app\", "D:\000\abc.txt"
work correctly, but XY required confirmation to overwrite.
whit the 2 = Overwrite it's possible only for backupto.
and i don't want disable this from option-file operation-on collision-ask

another suggestion??

And why don't you use backupto in this case and a delete afterwards?

I dont remember why Don did not provide overwrite option for moveto in scripting, but I did not understand your concern with what highend suggested.
He suggests this:

Code: Select all

//Moveto (force overwrite) without prompt
  backupto "D:\app\", "D:\000\abc.txt", 2;
  delete 1,0,"D:\000\abc.txt";// Delete to recycle bin without prompt

Doesn't moveto on same drive only rename, but no physical copy?

But another possible solution: first (maybe test and then) delete destination file, then moveto?
