Hi, Thanks for your script
one thing I have to be clear is I will have the trigger files based on the Trigger file name I have to move the other files.

c:/Trigger folder
Sample_test.txt is the file

I have to first go to Sample folder and then to Test folder and mv all the files in the test folder to d:/

Please let me know is that scipt which you sent will work?
