To delete all the files from a specific folder, you can use :
Dim file As String
For Each file In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("d:\logo", "*.bmp")
System.IO.File.Delete(file)
Next

in visual basic 6
the code you gave works fine , but how to copy randomely from a directory a file .bmp and paste it to c:\images
To do a "random copy" every 15 minutes, you will have to use a timer.
eg you can do :
Dim myTimer As New Timer
myTimer.Interval = 15 * 60 * 1000 '15 minutes
AddHandler myTimer.Tick, AddressOf Timer_Tick
myTimer.Start()
each 15 mn, a new event will be raised, and you can handle it to select a random file and copy it where you want :
Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
' Get a random file
Dim files As String() = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("mypath")
Dim myRand As New Random(DateTime.Now.Ticks)
Dim i As Integer = myRand.Next(0, files.Length - 1)
System.IO.File.Copy(files(i), "destination path")
End Sub
Here we will use the DateTime.Now.Tick value to have a real random number in our list which will give us a random file

Oh sorry... that's VB.NET code... if it is for VB6 you will have to translate it a little bit...

ASKER
would you please translate it ,
it will take less than a minute with you , but it will take a year with me to do it :D
Sub DeleteBMP(YourfolderPath as string) ' YourfolderPath must contain the "\" at the end
'already
dim F as string
f=dir(yourfolder+"*.bmp")
while (f<>"")
kill f
f=Dir()
wend
end sub
'--------------------------
Function SelectRandomBmp(Folderpath as string )as string ' Returns the bmp full name, or "" if doesnt exist.
Dim A() as string, i as integer,F as string, J as integer
i=0
f=dir(folderpath+"*.bmp")
while (f<>"")
i=i+1
redim preserve A(i)
A(i)=F
F=Dir()
wend
if i>0 then
Randomize timer
J=int(rnd*i)+1
SelectRandomBmp=A(j)
else
selectrandombmp=""
end if
end function
Its four AM in Argentina, where i am. So, i could miss a point or comma. But i hope it helps.
hello idle mind
i created a project and added in it a timer ,
but the code deletes all bmp files from c:\logo , and put only one image in c:\images , while it must do this :
select a bmp file from c:\logo and put it in c:\images , and after 15 minutes it must delete the file from c:\images and select another bmp file from c:\logo until it will select all files ,
thanks
