I'm running VB6 and am working on a program and I'm trying to have it sort through a folder and take all files larger than X amount of megabytes and rename them and copy them, my question is how do I get the program to sort the files based on size and work with only those?
Thanks

You need to grab an array containing the directory's contents, and iterate through it until it finds a file greater then X amount of megabytes. Once it finds this file, it runs the required commands with it, and then continues looping until it's gone through the entire array.

I don't see where sorting becomes necessary in this, but in case I misunderstood one side to your question, here is a tutorial for multiple sorting algorithms implemented in Visual Basic: http://www.vb-helper.com/tut1.htm

thanks alot that is what I meant. But how do I tell Visual Basic what the minimum size is, like how do I take a file and get in integer value as the file size?

Here's some code that searches for files and displays their size in a listbox: http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_total_file_sizes.html

From that you can take the command for getting the file size. From what I see, you have to use the method "nFileSizeHigh" on a file handle.

This may not be the simplest way to do it. Just do some searching around, you'll find something.
