Move or delete a file after a time period

[PauldePaor]

How would such a program look that the user specifies the length of time that the file should be moved or deleted after or if a file size goes over a certain limit?

LabVIEW 2013

While loop that periodically checks the file size and modified date (File/Directory Info function should do it).  If it goes higher in size and elapsed time, delete or move and quit.  I would use a wait of something like 500ms.  Also allow a way for the user to stop the loop.

Thanks for your reply,

Would it be possible to see a simple VI example of this?

Something like this

How would the user choose between moving or deleting the file after that time period ?

Boolean switch.  Enum.  The enum would probably be the better way since it is more self documenting and easier for the user to see what is happening.

How would the enum work if the greater than function is already wired to the case selector?

You have another case structure inside of the current case structure.
