how to move a file to another directory

[Nifrabar]

Hello to all of you !

I am updating my application.
Therefore I need (on the fly) move a file to another directory.
Would that be possible by one command ?
Or should I copy the file and delete the original ?

oFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
oFSO.MoveFolder("SourceDir","DestinationDir&quot

Wouldn't your suggestion move the whole folder, rather than just the file?

Oh Mike, I read the question wrong.

oFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
oFSO.MoveFile(...............)

Ramani,
Thanks,
Will your solution run with all OS's ?

Nifrabar,

You can use the RENAME function in VFP.

RENAME FileName1 TO FileName2

...the filenames can be fully qualified paths to the file and if the path to FileName2 differs from FileName1 then the file is moved. Such as:

RENAME ("C:\SourceFolder\MyFile.txt&quot to ("C:\DestinationFolder\MyFile.txt&quot

Hi,

I was ure there should be a (almost) single command for me.
But as with most things.. Just a how to.
