Umm. Is this a Java question?

If so, a very good place to get ideas that might be useful in your code would be the File API documentation.

This may be to late but

To make a directory

File f = new File("C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\javaprojects\\FolderName");
        f.mkdir(); // makes folder/directory

To move a file and rename it

File a = new File ("C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\BmiAssignment_Notes\\mbrshipFiles\\FileToCopy.txt");
        a.renameTo(new File("C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\javaprojects\\collegeSamples\\homework\\Assessment3Bmi\\build\\classes\\assessment3bmi\\mbrshipFiles\\FileNewName.txt"));

Hope this helps although I suspect you may have the answer by now.

np, glad I could help someone, I feel that I may have repaid a little of the help that I have had over last couple of months.
