Hi,
I have another question on Syntax. I have 12 files I need to have copied to another directory. These files sometimes exists and sometimes they do not.
I need to have a job do the following.
1) Check if a specific file exists in a directory. If it doesnt move on to the next file until the end.
2) If the file exists copy it to a specific location (i know how to do this)
3) Delete the file. Move to the next file until the end.

Thanks for your help.

If you copy all of them to the same location it is a simple as FileMoveEx with *.* file mask or using SyncLocalDir and then FileDeleteEx.

If you copy them to different locations then you would need to hard-code file names and locations or put this info into .INI or some other config file and then dynamically read file names and locations from that file processing appropriate files in a loop.

Here is a simple example for hard-coded names
/////////////////
Dim( counter, number )
FileMoveEx( "c:\\source_dir\\file1.csv", "x:\\target_dir1", counter )
FileMoveEx( "c:\\source_dir\\file2.csv", "x:\\target_dir2", counter )
....
FileMoveEx( "c:\\source_dir\\file12.csv", "x:\\target_dir12", counter )
////////////////

Or you coud simple create a batch file like below and then schedule it as a job

/////////////////
move /Y c:\source_dir\file1.csv, x:\target_dir1
...
move /Y c:\source_dir\file12.csv, x:\target_dir12

The problem I am having is not the copy file it is the delete file.
Certian files will not be there every time the job is run. When I run the
delete file code it throws a error. Thats why I need to check if the
file is there first. If it is not skip the delete function. Thats the sytax I need.

For FileDelete your statement is correct, but for FileDeleteEx, FileMoveEx and FileCopyEx it is not. Last 3 methods simply report 0 files affected (this is their return value) but they don't trigger job error event.
