File Management?

Post by Timo »

I'm importing files and want to move them to another directory once completed.

I can import the files and delete them from the directory, but I can't see anyway of moving/copying the files to another directory.

Is there anyway to move/copy files via Aware IM actions, or suggestions to achieve something similar?

Regards,

Tim

could you use a batch process and windows task to do this on a periodic basis?

I could but as I'm building an app to be used by a number of clients some of which will be installed on their server. I also would like to be able to move the files once they have been imported, i.e. called from within the Aware IM application.

Support - Apart from creating my own java functions could Aware IM have more of the standard file manipulation built in... like the delete file functions etc.

If memory serves me right DELETE FILE should be available along with a few others.

Yes I know DELETE is available, as per my original post:
I can import the files and delete them from the directory, but I can't see anyway of moving/copying the files to another directory.
It is the file functions like:
  • copy
    move
that I would like to use, but I can not see how to use them in Aware IM.

Is there a way to use these directly from Aware IM or do I need to write some custom java?

Thanks,

Tim

Copy / move function will be great!

We currently do an import / export to achieve this but in Linux this ruins the permissions which we then need to reset using a script, it works but has limitations and it a bit of a mission for a simple file move.
