Hi,

I am trying to export information from an old
file management system. In the old system I
have several an .iff file that contains some
information that is needed.

Eg. in a folder i have file1.doc and file1.pdf. the
old system then creates a file called file1.iff.
this .iff file contains the following information

#01,TYPE
DOCUMENT
#02,NAME
FILE1
#03,REF
TEXT I NEED
#24,TO_LIST
0

I then need the text line below #03 copied to
the subject in file details for file1.doc and
file1.pdf

My idea was to have a batch job that could do
it for each subfolder.

Thanks
Thomas

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

i would like the text to be copied into the .doc and .pdf
metadata. So if I browse folder with explorer and select
detailed view, with the subject column activated I can sort the
files on the subject text imported from the .iff file

I'm not sure this is possible at all...
