I cannot close the file cos I never opened it.
Most of these files were processed earlier to calling this function, but
looks like when this function is called they still are in memory.
Check the code below -
Public Shared Sub MoveFiles(ByVal path As String, ByVal pattern As String)
Dim File As System.IO.FileInfo
Dim FileNames As New ArrayList
Dim FileName As String
Dim Directory As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(path)
For Each File In Directory.GetFiles(pattern)
FileNames.Add(File.FullName)
Next
File = Nothing
Directory = Nothing
For Each obj As String In FileNames
FileName = obj.Substring(obj.LastIndexOf("\") + 1, (obj.Length -
1 - obj.LastIndexOf("\")))
Try
System.IO.File.Move(obj, "c:\loaded\" & FileName)
'System.IO.File.Delete(obj)
Catch E As Exception
' File.
End Try
Next
End Sub
