    Hi All,

    I have 2 variable 1.Source and 2.Destination

    both variable contain the source file path and destination file path

    I want to move all txt file from source to destination using Script task.

    When I am trying to configure the File system task it is getting disappear so I have to use script task for movement of file.

    could you please help me in that ?

    Regards,

    Sure, use File.move in your script task.

    There should be no reason why the file system task wont move having the source and destination as variables. I use it for all file movements and with an expression to generate file path inside a foreach container. but yes the script task with sytem.io library and file.move will work.

    Iterating round a group of files in a FEL solely for the purposes of moving those files leaves a bit of a sour taste in the mouth as it feels analogous to RBAR. The FST does not support wildcards, so that's the only option, but it's much tidier to do it in a couple of lines of code, IMO.
