About directory and files

[palba 0]

Hi All,

I have this deal:

I need to organize my work by date. A large amount of files are generated every day so I'd like to automate the daily job.

-My idea is:

Generate all the files into a specific folder

At the end of the day, autoit creates a folder with the day and move all the daily generated files into the new folder.

I have to ask: Can I create a folder giving a name? better could be the date, that autoit can handle simply.

One more, which is the best way to select all the file in a folder?

I need to move 600 files per day....

Any suggestion is very well appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Paul

Thanks!

But which is the correct use of @MDAY.

I'm trying this:

Dircreate ("c:\Documents\ (@MDAY/@MON")

but it doesn't work as I expect.

I'd like just to understand how to use date of the day to name or rename e folder.

Many thanks in advance! Best regards!

$Filename = "c:\Documents\ (" & @MDAY & " - " & @MON & ")"

Dircreate ($Filename)

On Windows you can't take a slash "/" file or dir names.

& @MDAY & ????

I guess why in the help file many commands doesn't have the correct usage sintax.

Where is a very good guide to find the correct commands usage?

Thanks again for your help!

& is to concatenate strings (it has nothing to do with the @... macros).

So "c:\Documents\ (" & @MDAY & " - " & @MON & ")" concatenates the strings

"c:\Documents\ ("

@MDAY

" - "

@MON

")"

Where the macros @MDAY and @MON result in the strings "18" and "11".

So "Hello" & "-" & "world" results in "Hello-world"
