Hello guys,
A simplified example of my concern:
I have 3 folders (RECORDING , RECORDING 2, RECORDING 3) containing files.
My application is to be deployed with a plug-in and I now need to group these 3 folders together and put them in a new folder called RECORDING PLUGIN which will be registered in the plugin path (Data Path plugin ) see vi below.
How can I group these 3 folders into a single folder please?
Thanks you

The question you ask is simple, but the example code you show is more complex. Let me try to give you a simple answer.
Given: Three folders, whose paths you know and can group into an "Array of Folder Paths", need to be moved (or copied -- I'm going with "moved" as it makes the situation simpler, only one set of folders-of-files to worry about, but changing it to "copied" should be obvious and trivial) to another folder, whose path you also know (and does not "intersect" the three soon-to-be sub-folders).
Given you are processing elements of an Array, drop down a For Loop and wire the Array of Folder Paths into it through the default Indexing Tunnel. This will give you, one at a time, the folders to be moved/copied. Also bring in the wire from the Folder-of-Folders through a Shift Register.
Inside the For Loop, drop a Move function from the File "Advanced File Functions" sub-Palette. Read its Help and wire the two inputs to it. Note where the two inputs and one output go. [If you wanted to Copy, instead of Move, the input Folders, you'd substitute "Copy" for "Move", obviously].
The output Path will be the Folder you specified to contain the three Inputs Folders, and will contain the three Input Folders. Very simple, all done.
