Ok so i'm running a site where users can upload guitar "tabs" in with a .txt extesion...so pretty much a simple notepad document. Ok, i was wondering if it is possible to write a program that will.....go to a folder called TABS change all new .txt files extensions to .htm so they can be viewed on the web faster, then move those .txt files to another folder called Archive.

I think i might be going about it wrong in the first place because I think i should be running a database to get all these tabs (.txt files) in order but im not really sure where to start to be honest.
