moving a file - file in use

Post by howl » Wed Apr 22, 2015 3:48 pm

I have a script that's moving files. Occasionally the file being moved is in use and the move doesn't happen. How can I monitor for an "in use" error so I can deal with these exceptions?

Thanks

You should be able to trap the error - ignore errors and then check lasterror:
