Folder Copy and Folder Move Actions

[azmanar]

Hi,

How do I Move Folder into another Folder, since there is no Folder.Move action?

Is there a way to copy a whole Folder and it's content to another Folder using AMS actions?

you would have to use Folder.Create() to make the folder you want and use File.Move("C:\\MyDir\\*.*", "C:\\DestDir\\", true, true, false, false, nil); to copy the files you want into the new folder. if you need to delete the old info use the File.Delete("C:\\MyDir\\MyFile.ext", false, false, false, nil);

hope that helps

Well, you could do a File.Copy action for every file in the folder, but if the folder has a lot of files it will be a lot of work.

Chris and Daniel,

THANKS !!!!!!.........Great guys

the File.Move() can move all the files in a certain folder at one time. much cleaner than the File.Copy().

Thanks, Chris! I did not know about that.

hmmm...

Moving subfolder and sub-subfolders of a folder would be nasty.

Intrigue,

Thanks for the link .....! Truly helpful pointers by Worm and yourself in there.

It would be neat if AMS have Folder.Move & Folder.Copy actions.
