opening files and copying data

[666kennedy]

is there a method, using C# that i can open a file, then copy the data from it into another file in a different folder?

the file doesnt need to be opened, just the data inside moved to another file.

any help would be great, and thanks to all the posts for my last thread!

There is a file copy method in the File class :
File.Copy( OriginalPath, CopyPath );

is that copying the whole file, or copying the data from inside it. as ill be going through a folder with many files, adding all the data into one big file (for example an excel file) in another folder.

here's more about file.copy

but you should maybe read from the destination file and append new text from the source file, and rewrite destination file over and over again. Using streamWrite and stremReader.
