lupusbalo Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) from an "old" user of AutoIt I know that "AutoIt lacks a rename function" (as said in the help file) I always wonder the reason behind and didn't found anything on the forum (may have been answered already in old forum platform ) what about a DOS rename command?? (also not found in forums) it keeps me awake for several nights please HELP Edited December 9, 2012 by lupusbalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 My guess is, that there is no windows API (which AutoIt presumably is based on) specifically for or named RenameFile or similar, the API for this in MoveFile, and that is why it is mentioned under that function.

Developers Jos Posted December 9, 2012 Developers Share Posted December 9, 2012 I know that "AutoIt lacks a rename function" (as said in the help file)Well this is the whole sentence in the helpfile so which part is unclear?:Because AutoIt lacks a "FileRename" function, use FileMove to rename a file!Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

monoceres Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Furthermore, the use of move as rename is standard in many parts of the software world. For example, on unix the standard way of renaming files are with the "mv" command. Broken link? PM me and I'll send you the file! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
