FileCopy/FileMove

Is it possible to Dim a location of a destination file for FileCopy?

I have successfuly Dim'd the root location of teh file, but I can't seem to get the destination to work. The file name that appears in the root directory needs to be moved as is to the destination directory, these file names change on a monthly basises.

Example:

Where Carea=C: (Current location)
Where Darea=X: (Desination Location)

Dim (CArea,string)
Dim (DArea, string)

filecopy (cArea,Darea)

I can't use the following:
file copy (carea,"x:\\move here.txt")
because the file names changes on a monthly basis.

Thanks for your help.

Can this be done?

Hi mlr0911,
Yes that can be done; here is a script that you should be able to make use of. Obviously change the file wildcard to something that works with your situation.

** Begin Script **

Dim vCopy, String "c:\\xtemp\\*.txt"
Dim vDest, String "c:\\xtemp\\xtemp2\\"
Dim vProc, Number

FileMoveEx ( vCopy, vDest, vProc )

** End Script **

This script will move (not copy) all .txt files in the directory listed in vDest. You can change the string on vDest to any mapped drive on the system. For copies you need to list the file by name.

Thanks DLUTER, I will try this on Monday when I get back in the office.

Thanks for you help
