palba Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 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 WWWWW AUTOIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
