Moves Files Using Wildcard?

[Andrew Robinson]

Is there any method of moving files within the .NET framework?

Something along the lines of System.IO.File.Move() ?

I need the ability to move between volumes and/or servers using wildcards.
Hoping that I don't have to write my own.

thanks,

-Andrew

You can use Directory.List to do the wildcard matching, then call
File.Move repeatedly. It shouldn't be too hard.

File.Move does not move between Volumes / Servers.

I was hoping that I could stay away from DOS.

Hi Andrew,

As for the File.Move , wildcards are not supported so I think Jon's
suggestion is reasonable. And I'm still not sure on the "move between
Volumes / Servers."

what does the "Servers" you mentiond means? Cross machine boundary or ...?
As the msdn document said, the File.Move will support moving across disk
volumes.

Please feel free to let us know your detailed scenario or any further
problems you met, Thanks,
