I want to move a todays date files to todays folder daily basis

This will show you how to get just the files for today:

Using DirectoryInfo.GetFiles instead of Directory.GetFiles, advanced filtering

Most times it’s recommended to use Directory.GetFiles to get the files in a folder. I’ve found DirectoryInfo.GetFiles to be more useful. It gets the files as an IEnumerable of FileInfo, which makes filtering easier and gives you more info about the files. You can later For Each through it and get any of the attributes of the file you want: filename (currentItem.Name); extension (currentItem.Extension), full path and filename (currentItem.FullName) etc. Here is the full definition of FileInfo …

First check if the folder doesn’t already exist, and create it.

Then For Each through New System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\temp").GetFiles("*").Where(Function(s) s.LastWriteTime.Date = Today) and move the files.

(Note that you may want to use something other than LastWriteTime such as CreatedDate)
