Move only x number of file at a time

[Jamy123]

I cannot for the life of me get this to work and I think I'm missing something simple. 

I have a folder that has lets say 2000 files in and I want to move only 200 files from folder 1 to folder 2 at a time.

I can get files to move from folder 1 to folder 2 no bother at all - but cannot get it to limit the number of files that move.

I've tried loops - incremental variables - I've tried replicating a script from Automate 11 -but its just not working 🤦‍♂️

Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated,

Thankyou 🙂

You could do it the simple way

Folder.GetFiles Folder: $'''c:\\temp''' FileFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Files=> Files
LOOP LoopIndex FROM 0 TO 3 STEP 1
File.Move Files: Files[LoopIndex] Destination: $'''c:\\test''' IfFileExists: File.IfExists.DoNothing MovedFiles=> MovedFiles
END

Or you could put the first 200 files into a new list and use it in "Move files"
