    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...!!!!
    Thanks,

    like you said
    i add code like this
    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...
    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:
    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
    CREATE(Shells);
    Path := Shells.GetParentFolderName(FullFileName) +'\';
    FileName := Shells.GetFileName(FullFileName);
    MESSAGE('%1 - %2 = %3',Path,FileName,FullFileName);
    

    but in message box only appear --> \ - =
  • bangswitbangswit Member Posts: 265
    it works
    my full code is like this
    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
  • bangswitbangswit Member Posts: 265
    done already
    just like this
    CREATE(Shells);
    Path := Shells.GetParentFolderName(FileName) +'\';
    FileTxt := Shells.GetFileName(FileName);
    FILE.COPY(FileName,'C:\' +'\' + FileTxt);
    JFFile.CLOSE();
    FILE.ERASE(FileName);

    after using automation
    my code in another form is error
    like i setup path for export is C:\Folder Name
    but after i export it... it is not C:\Folder Name\File Name.txt
    but C:\Folder NameFileName.txt
    is it because this automation?
    please help...

    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;

    no.... i have 2 files
    1st.... import (the code i show here) -> it successfuly
    but in another form... while i exported it... it become an error
    because it doesn't read as a path, but a file name
  • kinekine Member Posts: 12,562
    like i setup path for export is C:\Folder Name
    you need to use C:\Folder Name\ (or add \ where appropriate in the process)

    Hi!!

    I have a dataport and i want cut the file when it have been imported. But when i try to do this NAV launch me an error.

    OnPostDataItem()
    vRutaOrigen := vRutaConfiguracion+'\LOCLPED.TXT';
    vRutaDestino := vRutaConfiguracion + '\Historico\LOCLPED.TXT';
    FILE.COPY(vRutaOrigen,vRutaDestino);
    FILE.ERASE(vRutaOrigen);

    Error:
    the system can not perform the operation because the file is in use


    I have write FILE.ERASE(vRutaOrigen) on PostDataport too but i have the same error. Why??
  • kinekine Member Posts: 12,562
    Because the file is still opened in the dataport. You need to do itin OnAfterDataport or close it manually through CurrFile.Close.

    Sorry i have written CurrFile.ERASE but i want to write CurrFile.CLOSE

    My problem was i had written CurrFile.Close in other trigger. [-X

    Thx!!

    This is an exception to running a routine on the nas using movefile.

    This message is for C/AL programmers:

    An exception was raised in method MoveFile. The OLE control or Automation server has returned error (HRESULT) -2147352567.
    The component did not provide the exception description.


    Help ?

    OnPostDataport()
    CurrFile.CLOSE; //Close The Imported File
    SavedFileName := FORMAT(WORKDATE,0,'<Year4>'+'-'+'<Month Text,3>'+'-'+'<Day,2>'+'-'+DELCHR((FORMAT(TIME)),'=',':'))+'.txt'; //Create a New Filename for Imported File
    FILE.COPY(CurrDataport.FILENAME,FilePath+SavedFileName); //Copy File To New Location
    ERASE(CurrDataport.FILENAME);//Delete Original File

    hi all
    this is my code
    GLSetup.GET;
    SFolder.SETRANGE(Path,GLSetup."Import Path" + 'Item\');
    SFolder.SETRANGE("Is a file",TRUE);
    IF ISCLEAR(Shells) THEN
    CREATE(Shells);
    IF SFolder.FINDSET THEN
    REPEAT
    SFile.TEXTMODE(TRUE);
    SFile.WRITEMODE(FALSE);
    SFile.OPEN(GLSetup."Import Path" + 'Item\' + SFolder.Name);
    .
    .
    .
    .
    
     //Move File To History Folder
      Path := Shells.GetParentFolderName(GLSetup."Import Path" + 'Item\' + SFolder.Name);
      FileTxt := Shells.GetFileName(GLSetup."Import Path" + 'Item\' + SFolder.Name);
      FILE.COPY(GLSetup."Import Path" + 'Item\' + SFolder.Name,GLSetup."History Path" + 'Item\' + FileTxt);
      SFile.CLOSE();
      FILE.ERASE(GLSetup."Import Path" + 'Item\' + SFolder.Name);
    UNTIL SFolder.NEXT =0;
    
    if execute this code unit is just fine
    but if execute using webservice from C#,it will prompt me an error as in attachment
    it was said about I/O Exception
    is it about my shells?
