moving csv files generated by Lookout to another computer

[23r23]

How can I move data files (for Hypertrend, csv format, etc) generated by lookout periodically? Is there a command that can be used with RUN object not to copy, but to move files to anther location?

Hello 23r23,

Running the move command from the cmd (DOS prompt) using Lookout's run object would move the files. The following command for example moves the contents of c:\temp to the temp directory on the network machine \\hurricane:

"cmd /c move /y c:\temp\*.* \\hurricane\temp"

/c launches the cmd and then terminates when done
/y suppress the "overwrite" warning if the files already exist

Note that you can move CSV and other files with this. But, not historical data files (from Citadel, i.e., the *.thd) because they are "currently in use." You may want to use the CitadelControl object for archiving the historical data more gracefully.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Khalid
