Sorry am new to AHK, set up the following script that I thought would move files that met certain rules (in this case txt file) from one directory to another, but the script appears to do nothing ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

phatman

file_it = Loop,E:\*.*,0,0
{

stringright, move_it, file_it,3

if (move_it="txt")
{
filemove, file_it, E:\Files\txt\
}

}
Return

Loop, E:\*.txt, 0, 0
{
FileMove, %A_LoopFileFullPath%, E:\Files\txt
}

Bobo,

Excellent, thanks mate, is there a way to check if the file already exists in the target directory and if so append the current date to the file name and then move it ?

Thanks for your help

Bobo,

Sorry mate, am pushing it slightly, but I also need to exclude certain files from the Move Operation (e.g. if the file name starts with 'Schedule').

Thanks

Hi folks !

[Chris]

I could use clarification. Do you want to launch test.exe for each text file in a certain directory, passing the name of each text file as a parameter?

Hi !

My english is not that good, but I hope I understood you right.
Yes, I want to launch test.exe for each text file in a certain directory, , passing the name of each text file as a parameter.

[Chris]

I think this should do it.

Hi !

Thanks for your quick answer !
You opened my eyes. I had used the variable 'A_LoopFileName' and forgotten that the file extension is included. Which variable have I to use that the file extion isn't included - I have searched the help file but doesn't found the right variable. Can you help ?

Thanks in advance

@ badcoder
StringSplit (not a variable, it's the AHK command which delivers it) ? That might be the reason why I've used it within my sample code above, which btw. you've tested ???
