Basics: I want to know how to write a program that can move files from one directory to another automatically, without changing the files at all. More in Depth: I know how to program quite a bit in Java so that's why I mentioned that language, but I would be open to suggestions. I want to write a program that looks in a folder of mine, looks at the names of the files and then moves the file to a different directory. I just don't have any idea how java moves files. Any help?? Thanks a ton.

Try using renameTo method of File class. For example: you could write something like... File f = new File("existing.file"); f.renameTo(new File("c:\\temp\\new.file.name");

That's a cool way of doing it, I think that would work. I really haven't done a whole lot of work actually manipulating files with java, so I'm kinda clueless how to do this. Are there other languages that allow you to move files around easily and still allow a graphical frontend? Thanks.

just look at java documantations if you don't have it download it from www.java.sun.com you can find enough help on every field in it. so can can see help for each java class with all of its methods there.
