Rename a Directory

[palba]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find a way to modify a Directory name.

I'm using FileMove but doesn't work.

Is there another command to use?

Thanks

It is in the Help, Use DirMove

Because AutoIt lacks a "DirRename" function, use DirMove to rename a folder!

Why not doesn't work?

It works for me

$OldName = "old folder name"
$NewName = "Some New folder name"

DirCreate(@DesktopDir & "\" & $OldName)
MsgBox(0,"Ok", "New folder is created with name: "&$OldName&", and it will be renamed to: "&$NewName)
DirMove(@DesktopDir & "\"& $OldName, @DesktopDir & "\"& $NewName)
