Hi all,

I'm sorry I'm new to  pascal, shame on me. I want to create a program
that moves a mp3 file to a different folder, with one click on a
button.

I created a "program" with the button:

Code: [Select]

procedure TIMPORT.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
     ShowMessage('Done!');
end;



The folder of mp3 files is: "K:\mp3\"
The folder where the files should be copied to is: "K:\music\"

Can anybody tell me how to do this?

Thank you very much

You could do it by Windows API call Movefile. See at
