Strategy to create a folder similar to OIF need some input

[set2win]

I have used OIF for quite sometime, but problem is being able to control the trades. if you keep sending OIF files it keeps trading, and my app can't communicate with NT. So I have been working on a strategy that monitors a folder for files pretty much the same as OIF file format but I seem to have a runaway task, it shows loading all the time. Has anyone devised a script that monitors a folder and reads the file, assigns values then deletes the file waiting for the next file? i have included what i am currently testing. it reads the file and processes but the manner in which i am monitoring the folder seems to be too much for NT

Hi set2win, I am not aware of an existing example of this. A program that monitors a folder would use the FileSystemWatcher to raise an event when there is a change in the folder:
