How to move files along with folder

  • I have a Main folder contains all Subfolders with the excel files ,which i need to process

    say for eg :

    MainFolder name is "Testing"

    SubFolders inside the MainFolder are

    Testing1 (contains 3 excelfiles)

    Testing2 (contains 3 excelfiles)

    Testing3 (contains 3 excelfiles)

    Testing4 (contains 3 excelfiles)

    Now my requirement is , i need to process file by file and move the file into the Processed or Error folder

    along with subfolder

    For eg : Testing1 folder contains 2 invalid files and 1 valid file , then

    2 Invalid files should go to Error folder along with the sub folder and 1 valid file should go processed folder along with subfolder

    Finally the folders should contain files as fallows

    Error Folder -> Testing1 folder -> 2 excelfiles

    Processed Folder -> Testing1 folder -> 1 excel file

    Thanks in Advance

  • DECLARE @SourceFileName varchar(255)

    Declare @Destination varchar(255)

    DECLARE @ExecCmd VARCHAR(255)

    SET @SourceFileName = '"\LoadFile.txt"'

    set @Destination = '"\LoadFile.txt"'

    SET @ExecCmd = 'move ' + @SourceFileName +' '+@Destination

    EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @ExecCmd

    make sure your xp_cmdshell command is enabled in your sql server. If it is not enabled run the following command:

    RECONFIGURE

    EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1

    RECONFIGURE
