Yes, exact one half of the files are moved in each run of [MoveFiles...] Dave MacLeay's copy/delete method did the same in my test. If you run it half times the number of files to move, you are through. You can use the following workaround which does no harm if you forget it in your code when the problem finally gets fixed... -------------------- [math show=f]counter=0[/math] [ListFiles store/pending/] [math show=f]counter=counter+1[/math] [/ListFiles] [Loop start=1&end=[math]counter/2[/math]] [ListFiles store/pending/] [math show=f]counter=counter+1[/math] [MoveFile path=store/pending/[FileName]&to=store/ready/[FileName]] [/ListFiles] [/Loop] -------------------- At the first run I count the files, divide the counter value by 2 and that is the number of runs you need to move all files. This is not remarkable slower than a single run because WebCat simply seems to get the wrong index - and in case the behavior normalizes some day there would be some empty runs who do not really matter.Peter__________________________________________ Peter Ostry - po@ostry.com - www.ostry.com Ostry & Partner - Ostry Internet Solutions Auhofstrasse 29 A-1130 Vienna Austria fon ++43-1-8777454 fax ++43-1-8777454-21
