Hi Shell_life,

I am still not getting the script to work. The issue I notice is the file name.
The names I gave was an example.
If the file name format changes then the script won't work.
The only non changing criteria in the file name is that it always have the date(mmddyyyy) at the end. It can have any name/length as prefix.
For example: The files can be
File1_extract_08012011
Open_inv_08012011
BAXT_CONV_08012011

Please help.
