Hi,

I can't find in doc/help any function for renaming directories.
Can someone open my eyes and tell me name of that function...?
Or share any code for direct calling Win API DLL function?

TIA & Regards

Have you tried DirMake() in Xbtools.

Hi,

use the same as for files !

RENAME ... TO ..  will work.

But be carefull, no open files, CMD Boxes or explorers are allowed 
inside the directory to be renamed. Did you need to MOVE a file ?

Try

RENAME c:\test\test.dbf TO c:\old\back_test.dbf

it will move and rename the file, if the directories exists.

Example:

proc main
    local cOld := "c:\temp\test1"
    local cNew := "c:\temp\test2"
    ? createdir(cOld)
    ? fexists(cOld,"D"), fexists(cNew,"D")
    rename (cOld) to (cNew)
    ? fexists(cOld,"D"), fexists(cNew,"D")
    wait
    ? removeDir(cOld)
return

Result:

C:\temp>test

Hi Hubert,

I didn't know that FRename() works also in this way.
Many thanks for this tip - it works!
May be Alaska can add info about this behavior of this function in help/doc 
too...
