Hi,

I need to create a script that will move the oldest .ready file in a
specific directory to another specific directory.

Can anyone help me create a script?

TIA!

You could re-invent the wheel and write a script to compare the various
file
dates with each other or else you could rely on standard system tools and
do
the job with this batch file:
@echo off
set Source=d:\Some Folder
set Target=c:\Some other folder
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /o-d "%Source%\*.ready"') do set File=%%a
echo Moving "%Source%\%File%" to "%Target%"
rem move /y "%Source%\%File%" "%Target%"

Remove the word "rem" in the last line to activate the batch file.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback.
