Search file and move

[Sam31]

I looking for a script which can do this:

----------------------------------------------

pathA = C:\folder01\

pathB = C:\folder02\

For all files in pathA

If file_name start with "B"

Then move to pathB

----------------------------------------------

Thanks

Instead of looking for one, I suggest you write one.

I find if stringleft function but my prob is the search function

Ok finally it's not necessary to do anything special: "Filemove" function that all I need.

Ok, well I am not aware of a FileMove() function native to AutoIT, so this is what I do:

Func _FileMove($Source, $Destination)
    FileWrite($Destination, FileRead($Source))
    FileDelete($Source)
    Return
EndFunc

And if you want to copy the file rather than move it, it is a similar function, but without the delete.

Func _FileCopy($Source, $Destination)
    FileWrite($Destination, FileRead($Source))
EndFunc

Hope that helps.

FileMove ( "source", "dest" [, flag] )

Well, you're aware that this is very - veeery inefficient - right? Better use FileMove() because it doesn't write a complete file but instead just moves entries in the filesystem.

Oh, so there is actually a command for that? Didn't come up in my scite calltips. I better check that out.
