I want FoldMonkey to copy AND move files as they are found, how do I do this?

You can copy and move files simultaneously by using the following basic instructions (note that these instructions can be customized to suit your specific needs):
1.
|
Launch FoldMonkey. Use the settings window to set up the operation as you require (For example, if you want files renamed or folders created).
|
2.
|
Check the "Launch Program" check box.
|
3.
|
Check the "Wait For Program To Close Before Moving To Next File" check box.
|
4.
|
Enter the following information in the "Launch" section:
Program: C:\mybatchfile.bat
Parameters: "<filePath>\<newFileName>"
Note: Include the quote marks when entering the above information.
The Launch section should now look like this:
|
5.
|
Create a batch file C:\mybatchfile.bat with the following contents:
@echo off
cls
xcopy/y %1 "C:\Target Folder"
cls
exit
|
6.
|
Change the contents of the above file as required.
For example, if you wanted to copy files to C:\My Documents, then you must change this line to:
xcopy/y %1 "C:\My Documents"
For example, if you wanted to move files rather than copy them, you must change this line to:
move/y %1 "C:\Target Folder"
|
7.
|
Save and close the batch file.
|
You are now ready to start scanning. Each new file found will be copied to the folder that you have defined in the batch file.
