I know what you want to realize.

My question was what problems do you have when writing the script?

You're not asking any questions here. If you want help with something, please ask a question.

At the moment, I have been able to derive the fact that you would like some help with writing a script task.

I also know that you are aware that there are plenty of resources available on-line for such file-related tasks, but for some reason these are not good enough for you.
