texte = I'm stuck with an very old problem :I want to move a file as soon as it is ready to be moved. This means created AND closed.The [WaitforFile] context don't wait for the file to be closed but is activated as soon as the file is created and yet opened, so not ready to be moved.If the time to write the file is long, the [waitForFile] context is activated, even if the writing of the file is not yet finished.If you place a [movefile] context inside the [waitforfile] context with slow files you will a have a 0 kbyte moved file.So maybe it is possible to test with the [fileinfo] context if the [size] of the file is null and then wait more time.I'm trying to have some kind of loop wich test if the file size is not null and then escape the loop.But it doesn't seems to have a loop break if possibility in WebCat.This is really a VERY big problem for me.I tried a lot of solutions like rename or move but the problem is still the same : the [waitforfile] context is activated as soon as the file begin to exist on the disc.Please help.Thank you.
