Question

just wondering if anyone could show me how to do a couple simple commands with VB.net syntax that I can do with DOS or batch files.

For example…
What would be the equivalent of

SET date="%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%"
mkdir E:%date%
move C:\folder *.png E:\%date%

Thats just a simple DOS or batch command to make a directory with the date, and to move all .png files into that folder.

I need to know how to do mkdir and move. The part where I create the dated folder would be cool, but isn’t necessary.

This chunk of code should match your script.

Dim dateText As String = Date.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
Dim toPath As String = Path.Combine("E:", dateText)
Directory.CreateDirectory(toPath)
For Each (filename As String In Directory.GetFiles("C:\folder", "*.png"))
    File.Move(filename, toPath)
