Hi everyone,
I'm a new user of Robotask and I wonder how to simply move files. When
I create a task to do this I'm in front of a minor problem. I explain
myself : if I search all the .m2v files in a directory that contains a
lot of subfolders and I ask to Robotask to move these files, Robotask
also moves the subfolders that contain those files. What is the good
method to move files without the subfolders ?
My task is containing to 2 actions "Browse for folders" to ask the user where are the source files and where to move them.
I also made an action "create File list" but till now it is useless
because I don't know what to do with this File list (even if I write
this list in a text file).
If anybody can help me, it will be welcome.
Thanks.

I've understood your task so:
You need to move some files from one folder to another and you want to preserve the folder structure. Right?
If you simply move files then folder structure will be lost.
Some later I shall post here an example, how to move files with folder structure.

Hi Oleg,
First of all I would thank you for your quick response.
Just to precise my problem : I don't want to keep my folder structure, I just want to gather files according to their type.

See task below. This task copies files *.m2v from selected folder into c:\dest

Hi Oleg,
I tried your task unsuccessfully. Robotask always indicate an error on Step#3 (copy/move).
I've build a new task from yours to show you the behaviour I expect
from my task (ask the user the source folder and the destinations
folders for all files). I've got the same error.
My variables actually have the following Initial Values (they're
constant for the moment because I'm always testing my task in the same
folders) :
S_FOLDER : (C:\TEST ROBOTASK\SOURCE)
EXCEL_FOLDER : (C:\TEST ROBOTASK\DESTINATION\XLS)
WORD_FOLDER : (C:\TEST ROBOTASK\DESTINATION\DOC)
(The search files and Write to Text actions are always successfull)
I have a doubt about the syntax in the copy/move action. What do you think about that ?
Steph.

I've just tested your example with your foldernames:
S_FOLDER : (C:\TEST ROBOTASK\SOURCE)
EXCEL_FOLDER : (C:\TEST ROBOTASK\DESTINATION\XLS)
WORD_FOLDER : (C:\TEST ROBOTASK\DESTINATION\DOC)
It works fine!
Can you send error messages from task's log?
What version of RoboTask are you using?
S_FOLDER : (C:\TEST ROBOTASK\SOURCE)
EXCEL_FOLDER : (C:\TEST ROBOTASK\DESTINATION\XLS)

Oh, sorryI tried your task unsuccessfully. Robotask always indicate an error on Step#3 (copy/move).
My example uses stipulated folder c:\dest
If this folder doesn't exists on your computer, you need to create it or change the task.

Ok.
You have two ways:
1. Download and install new version of RoboTask (current version is 2.3)
We have fixed this bug.
2. Use the loops to move files one by one. See task below.

You have two ways:
1. Download and install new version of RoboTask (current version is 2.3)
We have fixed this bug.
2. Use the loops to move files one by one. See task below.

Moving files
Hi Oleg,
Thanks a lot, now with the version 2.3 it works very well. I will purchase the software tomorrow. I'm convinced.
See you next time.
