Hi Bangswit...
Use the concept of File.

FILE.COPY(FromName,ToName); // FromName is your file name with current location (path), ToName is the new location with File name

FILE.ERASE(From);// This will erase your file with previous location...

So your file will be cut and paste on new folder...!!!!

like you said
i add code like this

Code: Select all

FILE.COPY(FileName,'C:\');
FILE.ERASE(FileName);

but it was said
the operating system cannot find the directory specified for the file C:\
please check that the drive,directory and file names are correct

you must specify the file path completely.
copy('c:\a.txt','c:\b.txt');

but how can get that a.txt
because fileName --> path + file name (example : C:\a.txt)

Maybe you can use the function Openfile in codeunit 412.
It will open a window and return the complete path of which file you selected.

ReturnParth:=FileDialog.OpenFile('',DefaultPath,0,'',0);

that you have to write codes to read .txt file from that folder...

for that you can use File (record) concept of NAV....

like...

Code: Select all

RecFile.SETRANGE(Path,yourpath); // your path will be like, c:\abc like that abc is folder... 
RecFile.SETRANGE("Is a file",TRUE);
if RecFile.findfirst then repeat
 // here do coding that you will get file that is having .txt extension
 // then go for those two lines that i mentioned in first post
 // your complete code will be in this loop only...!!!
until RecFile.next = 0;

this is what i have done for one of my client...!!!

You can use this:

Quote:

CREATE(Shell);
Path := Shell.GetParentFolderName(FullFileName)+'\';
FileName := Shell.GetFileName(FullFileName);

Where Shell is automation of type "'Windows Script Host Object Model'.FileSystemObject".

The path is undefined, so the user will select the file from any folder
and recFile is table???

i'm using this code like you gave me

Code: Select all

CREATE(Shells);
Path := Shells.GetParentFolderName(FullFileName) +'\';
FileName := Shells.GetFileName(FullFileName);
MESSAGE('%1 - %2 = %3',Path,FileName,FullFileName);

but in message box only appear --> \ - =

bangswit · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 8:07 am

it works
my full code is like this

Code: Select all

CREATE(Shells);
Path := Shells.GetParentFolderName(FileName) +'\';
FileTxt := Shells.GetFileName(FileName);
FILE.COPY(FileName,'C:\' + FileTxt);
FILE.ERASE(FileName);

but it was said that the file is in used, and cannot be deleted

bangswit · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 8:45 am

done already
just like this

Code: Select all

CREATE(Shells);
Path := Shells.GetParentFolderName(FileName) +'\';
FileTxt := Shells.GetFileName(FileName);
FILE.COPY(FileName,'C:\' +'\' + FileTxt);
JFFile.CLOSE();
FILE.ERASE(FileName);

your code in the previous post did not include the path.
And after the copy you should check if the copy is complete before erasing the file.
something like a do until copycomplete;
