General Tools - File Management

This tool allows files on disk (local or UNC) to be renamed, moved, copied or deleted. This can be applied to specific files fed from a previous step or to a wild carded list of files.

The rename function can prefix or suffix the existing file name with a fixed string, the contents of a variable or other dynamic content in TaskCentre, or a date/time stamp can be applied.

The delete function optionally allows files older than a certain period to be deleted.

The copy function allows a copy of a file to be made in another folder.

The move function allows a file to be moved from one folder to another.
