   Re: Any suggestion - Create directory ba

   This may explain it better.   
      
   What I would like to do is take a file called (eg) EW120613001.pdf and save it   
   into \\server\share\FOLDER\1st 6 digit ddmmyy from filename \EW120613001.pdf   
      
   1. Characters 1,2 ignore   
   2. Digits 3-8 (6 digit ddmmyy) from filename   
   3. Creates directory based on the 6 digits, if not there   
   4. If the directory is already there create Nul Errors.   
   5. Move the file into the directory.   
      
   Hope that a better explanation....  first one was a bit vague!!!! :@}   
      
   File name = EW120613001.pdf before   
   File name = EW120613001.pdf after   
      
   Using the 120613 part from the file name for the directory name.   
      
   thanks
