Here's my situation:
1) My client has a folder on the network that has approximately 12,000 .jpg images.
2) He has a geodatabase that contains approximately 3,000 rows of data. One of the fields is PicFile, which is the exact name of the file that is stored on the network.
3) What I'm trying to do is find a way to write the names of all 3,000 file names from the geodatabase into a file (.txt or .doc?), compare those 3,000 against the 12,000 file names in the network folder, and anytime I find a match, copy and paste that file into a new folder, which will be sent off to my client's client.
I'd like to write this using the Visual Basic Editor in 9.3, but if a .NET developer has the answer, I can certainly write it there too.
UPDATE:
I've figured out how to write the attribute table values into a .txt file, and I've also figured out how to create a new folder on the file system. I'm left trying to figure out how to compare my .txt file (line by line) to the contents of my folder, then copying and pasting the .jpeg when I find a match.
Thanks for the help...
