The Copy/Move File List Action allows you to copy move a list of files from one directory to another.
This action was written by Jim Gunkel from Nevrona Designs. It makes it possible to provide several different file specs for the files that should be moved/copied. Jim has kindly made this action available to all Automise users. The source for this action is installed as an example of creating custom Automise Actions.
