GOAL Distribute classed sets of data files from a common folder to their respective set folders. BACKGROUND For a client with severe data-file duplication and file-content-identification issues ranging across several thousand files, I've: - created a backup working set of those files - pre-pended a 5-digit serial number to each file-copy into the format: xxxxx.filename.ext - aggregated all files into a common folder - successfully parsed the folder's file list into text fields: xxxxx filename ext filesize datestamp - processed these in Excel to identify duplication and content-meaning, and to class files into four sets: [ a b c d ] - successfully Gateway'd the file serial number and file set identifier into a two-column R:Base table: file_sn [ 10001,10002...2nnnn ] file_set [ a b c d ] - created four empty file folders, each reserved for one file class NEED I'm thinking the 'file_sn' and 'file_set' values are sufficient input to a process that 'walks' the common file list and performs the distribution. I have no such routine and I'm SO FAR behind the 8-ball on this job ... What's the best way to handle this? MTIA Bruce Chitiea SafeSectors, Inc.
