simple program to move files ?

[ajames270@gmail.com]

I would like to cretae a program to move files from one directory to
another...
ex:
from c:\in
to
c:\out

so anything in c:\in would be moved. I would like this to run every 30
or 40 seconds.

One other thing is I want to only get and move files that are fully
written to the c:\in folder I dont want to start moving a file that is
in process of being written to the directory.
So can it be done to look by time and anyhting that is 30 seconds or 1
minute in time older than current time?

How would I do something like this?

Windows service that runs all the time. If you're dealing with a
small amount of files you can use a file system watcher to watch the
dir. Once you have that information you can do something to the tune
of System.IO.File. Open([filename]) and if that throws an exception you
know its not done and to get it on the next pass.

If you're using a program to drop files into the "in" box you could
have the application rename the file once it has been placed in and
only grab the renamed files for the "out" box.
