Move file

Syntax

Move file (from-path, to-path) Returns err-code

Description

Note: The flag is set according to whether Omnis was able to make a call to this external command.

This command moves the file specified in from-path to the folder named in to-path. It returns an error code (See Error Codes), or zero if no error occurs. The to-path is the path to destination folder into which the file will be moved. The command may fail if the to-path directory contains a file with the same name as from-path filename.

Move file cannot move a file across volumes (disks). Use Copy file and Delete file instead. Move file cannot move directories.

Example

# Prompt the user for a file to move together with a path
# to move to and move the file 
Do  FileOps.$putfilename(lPathname,'Select a file for moving','') Returns lReturnFlag
If  lReturnFlag
  Do  FileOps.$selectdirectory(lNewPath,'Path to  move to') Returns lReturnFlag
  If  lReturnFlag
    Move file (lPathname,lNewPath) Returns lErrCode
  End If 
End If
