Sync directory script

Hi,
unfortunately I didn't found an app to mirror several directories from the internal storage to the sdcard (what is no problem for several clouds like 'foldersync' or 'dropsync'). Best choyce seems to be 'Auto Transfer'. This app copies all changed or new files, but it won't delete files from the target which are deleted on the source-directory.
Of cause, I know it's possible to create something nice with automagic, perhaps there is an easy solution?
At the moment I try to compare directories:
Code: Select all
{source_list} contains:
[.ttxfolder, Apk, Applications, Automagic, Kalender, Kontakte, READ-Dropsync.txt, READ-Restore.txt, Timesheet]
{target_list} contains:
[.ttxfolder, Apk, Applications, Automagic, Kalender, Kontakte, READ-Backups.txt, READ-Dropsync.txt, Test, Timesheet]
Now I would like to extract the Items in the target, which are not in the source for deleting, in this excemple 'Test':
items_to_delete = removeAllElementValues(target_list,source_list);
{items_to_delete} contains:
[.ttxfolder, Apk, Applications, Automagic, Kalender, Kontakte, READ-Backups.txt, READ-Dropsync.txt, Test, Timesheet]
...but it should contain only 'Test' !?
So what I'm doing wrong here?
Btw.. it's so absolute hard typing code on a handset...

Always good to post actual code/flow.
Code: Select all
source_list = newList('.ttxfolder','Apk','Applications','Automagic','Kalender','Kontakte','READ-Dropsync.txt','READ-Restore.txt','Timesheet') ;
target_list = newList('.ttxfolder','Apk','Applications','Automagic','Kalender','Kontakte','READ-Backups.txt','READ-Dropsync.txt','Test','Timesheet') ;
removeAllElementValues(target_list,source_list);
target_list contains [READ-Backups.txt, Test]

Here the flow!
I modified the strings, but still the same result:
Code: Select all
source_files:
'.ttxfolder','Apk','Applications','Automagic','Kalender','Kontakte','READ-Dropsync.txt','READ-Restore.txt','Timesheet'
source_list:
['.ttxfolder','Apk','Applications','Automagic','Kalender','Kontakte','READ-Dropsync.txt','READ-Restore.txt','Timesheet']
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
target_files:
'.ttxfolder','Apk','Applications','Automagic','Kalender','Kontakte','READ-Backups.txt','READ-Dropsync.txt','Test','Timesheet'
target_list:
['.ttxfolder','Apk','Applications','Automagic','Kalender','Kontakte','READ-Backups.txt','READ-Dropsync.txt','Test','Timesheet']
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elements_to_delete = removeAllElementValues(target_list,source_list);
elements_to_delete:
['.ttxfolder','Apk','Applications','Automagic','Kalender','Kontakte','READ-Backups.txt','READ-Dropsync.txt','Test','Timesheet']

This script you used isn't the way to generate a newList.
Code: Select all
source_files = replaceAll(source_files, '\\[', "'");
source_files = replaceAll(source_files, '\\]', "'");
source_files = replaceAll(source_files, source, '');
source_files = replaceAll(source_files, ', ', "','");
source_files = replaceAll(source_files, '/', '');
source_list = newList(source_files);
Replace above code with
Code: Select all
source_list = newList();
for (i in source_files)
{
addElement(source_list, replace(i, source, ""))
}
Do similar for target_list.

As pointed out, you're not using lists right. See my code as an alternate example

Thank's a lot, I. think I got it now.
For testing the output, I'm using this:

Is there a more easy way creating flows and testing the output of each step? I find it very hard typing on the smartphone, and testing what I'm writing on the fly!
I'm using Minuum, which is nice.

If typing on smartphone is too difficult, you can mirror your phone to the PC and type from there. Use scrcpy :

What about using TeamViewer?

I never use teamviewer. But I know it is similar to VNC. And VNC is quite laggy if android is the server, it also require root (AFAIK). The control can't be passed properly. While scrcpy only use adb, can be done wirelessly (after redirect the port or using root), have integrated shortcut for input and you can customize a lot of the feature. Also it can be done offline, without any internet or wifi (if you use USB cable only). Framerate is also much better and smoother.
