Free program. Burning Errors...

August 2007: Removed Comp2Fld.zip (3.2 KB, 57 views) - Updated later post...

Attachment ZIP with a little free program that I just wrote.

http://hjem.get2net.dk/b_pedersen/tut/Comp2Fld.gif

This program can be used to compare e.x. two CDs or DVDs, (a CD and a local folder) or whatever two folders. To figure out why/where they are not identical when we expect them to be 100%, (should be) with the same content.

Useful when burned a bad cd/dvd, or whatever...

Benny,

August 2007: Removed Comp2Fld_update.zip (3.0 KB, 30 views) - Updated later post...

The program is now improved.
:p

Modifications:

1: Italic font is removed from folder names, instead
a mouse click on the last part of a folder name would now open that folder.
2: The auto refresh is removed from the resulting HTML page (didn't work correct after a backspace key in some browser applications),
So if you open the result HTML page before it's done, instead use the F5 key to refresh.

As before (not modified), If the first line in the previous HTML page (if it exist) content either showall=true, or showall=false, the VBS file would read and use that setting in the next (current) session.

Obvious, so you don't have to remember anything of the above.
I just wanted to tell the difference between the older and the new version.

Thanks Benny.:)

It will be interesting to try on my backups.

[Benny Pedersen]

Yes :D and besides to figure out about "has two file locations identical content", its now both improved and easy to use.

It take long time to compare a whole cdrom with the source burn-folder,
maybe 10 minutes or more...

When I want to backup files, I often use the Nero Burning Software, which has an option, something like this: "Do you want to verify after burning...?" then when/if Nero say: "Verify Error" :eek:, then I use my program to figure out what is wrong with that CD. If its only one file that was not burned, and that one file seem less important, then I don't need to repeat burning all my files, but instead I just keep the "bad" cdrom, or maybe burn the missing file.

Each time I visit this Elements Forum, I always do a search on my name because then I'm able to find what post that I should read.
If something, just ask here (I will find it)...

Thanks, Benny, for the Compare Utility. It sounds very useful. I will try it out.

Double or no extension bug fix, E.g.: "Filename.extension.extension" :eek:
Do the update below, or download the new and updated ZIP attachment.

*Replace line numb 37:
Fi1str= Files(ImaginPath,0,"")

*With:
Fi1str= Files(ImaginPath,0,"") & vbLf

*Replace line numb 58:
end if: Fi1str= replace(Fi1str, vbLf & ImaginFile,"",1,1,1)

*With:
end if: Fi1str= replace(Fi1str, vbLf & ImaginFile & vbLf,vbLf,1,1,1)

*Replace line numb 62:
for Fi=1 to uBound(Fi1arr): UrgFiName= fso.getFilename(Fi1arr(Fi))

*With:
for Fi=1 to uBound(Fi1arr)-1: UrgFiName= fso.getFilename(Fi1arr(Fi))

*Replace in line numb 1:

Thanks Benny, I use rename wizard, but I might just try yours to see. Harvey

Benny sorry I meant to say I use 'beyond compare' program. It works very well. Harvey

I don't get it. What is it that works very well ?

If you meant that my compare program did not work with all binary files on different locations, then its because I already have created other programs for such jobs. Some of my other constructions does a binary compare "all against all" files. The current program doesn't because its designed for testing backups are okay. So in other words, only filenames which has identically names are validated but not case sensitive, lower/upper case because I also designed it for validating bootable operating systems :D

If you meant; would better like a faster COM file, e.g. (
Bj@jzh`0X-`/PPPPPPa(DE(DM(DO(Dh(Ls(Lu(LX(L... snip),
, then I would have to do some time measurement with the built in Nero App
validating system but Im sure that my VBS file is both faster and better than Nero :p

For a binary ALL AGAINST EVERYONE, instead use my old script:
http://home1.stofanet.dk/photo/recovery.html#Scripts
"Identical.wsf" (written by me self). But its renaming any duplicate.
My new "Comp2Folders.VBS" file only write a HTML page instead.
