If you want update your applications, but don't want to wipe out the local storage files, content, registration keys, etc. on your SD card, create a separate folder on the destination drive to receive those files.
For example:
Use a script like the one below to create a folder where you can unzip the updated files.
path$="SD:/" 'USB1, SSD2, SD2
CreateDirectory(path$+"Update") 'unzipping here
package = CreateObject("roBrightPackage", path$+"autorun.zip")
package.Unpack(path$+"Update")
Delete the files that you want to replace in their respective folder(s).
Copy or move the updated files to the correct folder. You can use scripts to move multiple files to the SD card folder, as shown in the example below.
The main zip file that you download can contain other zip files. So you could unzip the main file, and then do targeted unzips to replace selected files.
Example
To copy everything from an “Update” folder to a “Myapplication” folder, do the following:
Copyroot("Update", "Myapplication")
Sub copyroot(path$ as string, Target$ as String)
mylist = listdir(path$)
For each item in mylist
if instr(1, item, ".") > 0 then
print "found a file: "; item
print "path: "; path$
CopyFile(path$+"\"+item, Target$+"\"+item)
else
print "found folder: " ;item
CreateDirectory(Target$+"\"+item)
copytree("\"+item)
endif
next
end Sub
Sub Copytree(path$ as string)
print "copy tree: "; path$
'e.g. \pool
mylistb = listdir("\Update"+path$)
print mylistb
For each item in mylistb
print len(item)
if instr(1, item, ".") > 0 then CopyFile("\Update"+path$+"\"+item, Target$+path$)
if len(item) > 1 then
print "copying sha file: "; Target$+path$+"\"+item
showstatus("copying file: "+ Target$+path$+"\"+item)
CopyFile("\Update"+path$+"\"+item, Target$+path$+"\"+item) 'folders only 1 digit long outside root ?
else
print "found sub folder: "; path$+"\"+item
CreateDirectory(Target$+path$+"\"+item)
copytree(path$+"\"+item)
endif
next
