Finally we are getting somewhere, I think.

For this task, forget the FST. You can delete the entire dataflow actually.

Just configure an Execute Process task on the Control Flow pane to...

I am afraid that you have not answered my question. Until you can tell me why you cannot use

move *.*

I am not going to post further.

Yes - maybe I'm over complicating things. If I use the wildcard method for the Source folder, how do I loop through to different destinations. Do I still...

So do these variables merely contain folder paths and you want your task to loop round all files in <source_folder> and move them to <destination_folder>?

Or do the values of the...

This can definitely be done. What problem are you having?

Nice solution - I'm sure others will use it.

For future reference, when you get an error...

Your text states...

Part 2 is the tricky bit though. If you've done this before, I think it would be useful if you could provide a code snippet.

Tricky because

"1,400.00",17.50,300

needs to become

"1400.00",17.50,300...

I disagree. It seems relatively straightforward to me.

You need two derived columns - Add1 and Add2 say.

Add1 will be Left(Address, 30)

and Add2 will be characters 31-60 (use a substring function...

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.

I've tried that. It just pushes the problem on. It seems that if I do that when it gets to the next numeric field it's...
