Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to rename a file in a directory using a query?

Thank you in advance,

Dawn

set @command = 'rename ' + @rpt_path_name + ' ' + @new_name
exec master..xp_cmdshell @command, no_output

/* where @rpt_path_name is the path (drive and directories)
and @new_name is... well, the new file name.
