I have what I thought would be a very simple file mover script. It checks for a file and moves it to a new directory if it exists:
if (File.Exists(_collection[x,0]))
{
System.IO.File.Move(_collection[x, 0], _moveTo);
MessageBox.Show("File moved because it was stale.");
}
It passes the check that the file exists, but then errors on the following line when trying to move it stating that the file is being used by another process. I can only assume that File.Exists is causing it to hang up somehow, but can't find a solution from anyone else who had this problem.
try this code:
string filePathNameToMove = "";
string directoryPathToMove = "";
if (File.Exists(filePathNameToMove))
{
string destinationFilePathName =
Path.Combine(directoryPathToMove, Path.GetFileName(filePathNameToMove));
if (!File.Exists(destinationFilePathName))
{
try
{
File.Move(filePathNameToMove, destinationFilePathName);
Console.WriteLine("File Moved!");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("File Not Moved! Error:" + e.Message);
}
}
}
