file rename

[volkerimmler]

After searching the manual and the forum, I have not been able to find any way to rename a file in autoit. Is there a way?

Thank you

Dim $FileToRename = "C:\File.txt", $NewName = "C:\File-Log.txt"
FileCopy($FileToRename, $NewName)
FileDelete($FileToRename)

No problem, theres probably a more efficent way out there, but that will do.

There is also a UDF that uses DOS if you don't want to copy and delete;; link from "DOScoms" in my signature;

;Syntax; _RenameDOS($s_file,$s_new_file)

; cf "DOSRenameExample.au3" Example at that link.

Best, Randall
