Wait until all the files are copied? - c

Question

I am trying to find a way to wait until xcopy cmd finished copying files from a disk. I tried 2 ways. First way is basically waiting for hprocess from the created process.
But this waitForSingleObject never resolves.
void copyFileWait(){
STARTinfP777.cb = sizeof(STARTinfP777);
char allCmd[MAX_PATH] = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe /k copy /y \""; // = drive letter; xcopy working fine
printf("%s\n", allCmd);
DWORD safsdkasf = 0;
if(CreateProcess(NULL, allCmd, NULL, NULL, FALSE, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS | CREATE_NO_WINDOW, NULL, NULL, &STARTinfP777, &procInf7777) == 0){
printf("%d\n", GetLastError());
MessageBox(0, "Hata", "Dikkat!", MB_OK);
exit(0);
}
WaitForSingleObject( procInf7777.hProcess, INFINITE );
CloseHandle( procInf7777.hProcess );
CloseHandle( procInf7777.hThread );
}
In this function, i check the exitcode of the process after ran with GetExitCodeProcess() and also set a timer on the code. But it always equals to 259 i dont notice any change after even the files are completely written.
void copyFileWait();
void gggPaths();
DWORD WINAPI GetDirsSEVENthreadFunc ();
//void cpyToPES(char fromWhereToCopy[MAX_PATH]);
char *WndCmpath = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe ";
HANDLE fileCopierHandle;
int Nprocess = 0;
STARTUPINFO STARTinfP777 = {0};
PROCESS_INFORMATION procInf7777 = {0};
DWORD exitcode;
int main(){
gggPaths();
//copyFileWait();
DWORD threadCPYFilesID;
fileCopierHandle=CreateThread(NULL,0,(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)GetDirsSEVENthreadFunc,(LPVOID)10,0,&threadCPYFilesID); //updating 0 olana kadar bekler
WaitForSingleObject(fileCopierHandle,INFINITE);
printf("done.");
return 0;
}
void copyFileWait(){
STARTinfP777.cb = sizeof(STARTinfP777);
char allCmd[MAX_PATH] = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe /k copy /y \""; // = drive letter; //xcopy files bla bla works fine
printf("%s\n", allCmd);
DWORD safsdkasf = 0;
if(exitcode != 259){
if(CreateProcess(NULL, allCmd, NULL, NULL, FALSE, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS | CREATE_NO_WINDOW, NULL, NULL, &STARTinfP777, &procInf7777) == 0){
printf("%d\n", GetLastError());
MessageBox(0, "Hata", "Dikkat!", MB_OK);
exit(0);
}
}
BOOL result = GetExitCodeProcess(procInf7777.hProcess, &exitcode);
if(!result){
memset( &STARTinfP777, '\0', sizeof STARTinfP777 );
memset( &procInf7777, '\0', sizeof procInf7777 );
printf("damn..\n");
printf("%d\n", GetLastError());
}else{
}
printf("exitcode => %d", exitcode);
//if() exıtcode TASK_COMPLETE forexample... kill timer etc.
}
DWORD WINAPI GetDirsSEVENthreadFunc (){
HWND tempHW;
SetTimer(tempHW, 0, 5500,(TIMERPROC) &copyFileWait);
MSG msg;
while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)){
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
What would be a way to accomplish this task ?
I tried CopyFile() But it didnt find the path when i linked other volume letters, or external devices. Which I am working on.

Switching /k to /c solved the problem.
