Hi there,

I am developing an application that will help us clean up some of our file structures. I currently have 2 folders in place: c:\test1 and c:\test2.

test1 has multiple files with everything named differently and all having different extensions.
test2 is empty for the time being.

I am trying to pull out all the files from test1 that match the .mpeg extension and copy them into the test2 folder.
Along with copying them though, i will need to look at a creation date for the .mpeg files and rename them based upon the month and day that the creation time lists. The renamed file will show in test2 and the original file still in test1 untouched.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but i have been piecing information from all different sources and nothing is making sense in my mind.

I am seeking some help (the only code i have is commented out, but it never worked from the start)

Hello,

To help weed out your mpeg files, you will need to do something like this:

CODE

set objfso = wscript.createObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If file.type = "movie clip" and file.size >0 then
  objfso.CopyFile "C:\ from file path", "c:\ to file path"



You may get more than just the mpeg, you may get other movie clips in your folder since windows has other file associations with movie clip, but that should give you a start. Hppe this at least gives you a starting point.
