How to sync data from one folder to another using Python ready-to-use function?<\/mark><\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This Python function synchronizes the contents of one folder to another using the robocopy<\/code> command. Ready-to-use Python function to sync data from one folder to another:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

def sync_folders(source_folder, dest_folder):\n    # Synchronizes folder contents using robocopy\n    \n    cmd = ['robocopy', source_folder, dest_folder, '\/e', '\/mir', '\/np', '\/tee', '\/mt:4', '\/r:1', '\/w:5']\n    with subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True) as process:\n        for line in process.stdout:\n            print(line, end='')\n        for line in process.stderr:\n            print(line, end='')<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Write your main code as a sample below,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import subprocess\n\nsync_folders('C:\\Downloads\\Data', 'C:\\Downloads\\Save To')<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The output of the code is,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How does the function work?<\/mark><\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n
This is a Python function called sync_folders<\/code> that synchronizes the contents of two folders using the robocopy<\/code> command
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The function takes two arguments, source_folder<\/code> and dest_folder<\/code>, which are the paths to the source and destination folders, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the function, a list called cmd<\/code> is created, which contains the arguments to pass to the robocopy<\/code> command. These arguments include the \/e<\/code>, \/mir<\/code>, \/np<\/code>, \/tee<\/code>, \/mt:4<\/code>, \/r:1<\/code>, and \/w:5<\/code> options, which instruct robocopy<\/code> to copy all subdirectories, mirror the source folder to the destination folder, display progress without a percentage, output to console and log file, use 4 threads, retry once on failed copies, and wait 5 seconds between retries, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subprocess.Popen<\/code> function is then used to create a new process object, which runs the robocopy<\/code> command with the specified arguments. The stdout<\/code>, stderr<\/code>, and universal_newlines<\/code> parameters are set to capture the output of robocopy<\/code> as text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The function then loops through the stdout<\/code> and stderr<\/code> output using a for<\/code> loop, and prints each line to the console using print(line, end='')<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is an error during the execution of the robocopy<\/code> command, the error message will be printed to the console as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
