Hello Expert,

I have a situation where we getting files every morning 9:00AM on our Windows Server directory, We looking to move these files from folder A to Folder B but before that we want to run few checks i.e. file name, file type, date, and if file not available by 9:05AM. If all checks clear we want to have a confirmation email or if no files there or bad name we also want to have an email alert.
e.g.
d:\reports\au_19092014_salesreports.csv (folder A)
d:\reports_Analytics\au_19092014_salesreports.csv (folder B)

Eddie

Hi Expert,

Are you just interested in a finished working script or are you interested in answers to the implicitely included questions?

I'm interested in working script. we need to do it asap, and unfortunately I've no experience in Python.. so would be great if I get some sort of sample python script. I'll play around and change it with client requirement.

Thanks in Advance

For more clarification,
File name = au_sysdate-1_salesreport.csv
Arrival of files in folder A= 09:05AM everyday

Well then I let others handle this question.

I'm under a quite high work load at the moment and can only help to deblock certain small / perhaps tricky issues but at the moment I don't have time to do the complete code ASAP as you would need.
