Default Anyone Intrested in writing this small utility

I came here hoping that I could find somone to write what should be a simple program. Im not very knowlagable in the area but I would assume this to be simple.

Heres the Problem,

Im using a program which has a cache, witch is limited a certain size. I am able to expand my cache by simply renaming the cache file to somthing other than the default, and making a copy to which then other data is cached. giving me 2 or more cache files which I have to rename back and forth to allow me my expanded cache.

The Solution,

A program which given a directory and a group of files could rename and keep track of thier real names and switch them and whatnot.

Example:

given a directory, lets say its C:\Some File\Cache

In this directory there is 2 files by defalt:
Cache.dat
Cache.dat.index

In my directory I have:
Cache.dat <---------Active
Cache.dat.index <------Active
CacheB.dat <----------Set B
CacheB.dat.index <-----Set B
CacheC.dat <----------Set C
CacheC.dat.index <-----Set C

The program would need to take the active files and rename them to somthing else (set d maybe, keeping with a format) then rename "set b" to be the active files and remember that its "set b", so when it switches back it renames "set b" back to "set b" file names.

The program would idealy be a drop down list with the filename groups, where you would select the group, then hit a button witch would switch the file names. Another feature that would be great would be to moniter the size of the active file refreshing from time to time and show some visual warning to when the file aproches 1.75gigs or so.

If anyone decides they would like to take on this chalange or would like a better explaination let me know im sure i could give step by step of what the program would need to know or better lay out the structure.

I've moved this to the correct forum. You should also state the maximum bid you will pay for this project to be completed. Also, I've deleted your duplicate post. Do not post the same message across multiple forums.
