How can I remane a bunch of files in VB 6.0 1

[DougP]

I am using the FileCopy command to copy a file to a new name
This is slow because some of the files are large and I need to rename 498 files.
I am just renaming the first letter from X to Z

Is'nt there a Rename command in VB 6.0?

TIA DougP, MCP

Yes. Just look at "Help" and search for "rename".

 

[DougP]

Did that and I don't see it?

Name Statement Example
This example uses the Name statement to rename a file. For purposes of this example, assume that the directories or folders that are specified already exist.

Dim OldName, NewName
OldName = "OLDFILE": NewName = "NEWFILE" ' Define file names.
Name OldName As NewName ' Rename file.

OldName = "C:\MYDIR\OLDFILE": NewName = "C:\YOURDIR\NEWFILE"
Name OldName As NewName ' Move and rename file.

Good Luck
