I have say 10 files in the directory called attach

on day one for example when I run my code i want to move one of these files to the attachxls directorey with a filename of attach.xslx

I then convert this file to an xls file and process it - the are now only 9 files in the original attach directory

On day 2 for example I want to do the same thing - with the first of the remaining 9 files
