I am trying to get path of file txt, rename it in the date time format and copy the file to the new location. In my code
vplace = system.io.directory.getfiles(“path”) using this I am getting the path

Vplace is declared as string

When i am trying to copy, I am putting the from path as vplace.ToString

It is not working, I am getting the error "Source copy file
Message : Could not find file System String

How do we find our exact file and then copy this exact file to another location?

Hello,
In this video I do a lot of stuff with Files (Chapter included) :

1:10 Download the file and Move the latest file to folders
4:30 Rename files with VB commands
6:00 Move files to do Rename
6:55 Delete files
8:15 Delete only PNG files
8:55 Delete all the files except PNG files
9:55 Move files
11:10 Delete files that are older than 2 weeks
14:40 Create a file or folder with dates inside

Thanks,
Cristian Negulescu
