Copy file

[jeanneau]

Hi

In my Labview application, i copy a network file on the local hard drive where my application is located.

It works well but i don't know during copy where the progress is (i copy huge files about 100Mo).

So i would like to display a progress bar during copying like windows explorer does it for example.

Is it possible?

Thanks for your help

You have to build such a thing yourself.
So you read one file and write another file, test with various blocksizes (at least in multiples of 512 bytes) for the best speed. But I don't think you get the same performance as the OS copy function.

Hello,

It not possible to it directly, but I found somethng that could help you in the right direction.

Quote from a VB forum:
"What I'd recommend is to do the copy "manually".
That is, open input and output files as Binary, and use Get/Put to transfer a nice large chunk at a time.
That way, you can do a progress display.
The larger the chunks, the faster the transfer"

You will have to get the file size before transfer to calculate the progress.

Regards,

André
