ibec_MoveFile

The ibec_MoveFile function renames an existing file or a directory (including all its children).

The ibec_MoveFile function will move (rename) either a file or a directory (including all its children) either in the same directory or across directories. The one caveat is that the ibec_MoveFile function will fail on directory moves when the destination is on a different volume.

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. If the function fails, the return value is zero.

This function now supports Unicode (UTF8) file names. You can still use ANSI names, necessary checks and conversion are performed automatically.

  function ibec_MoveFile(ExistingFileName, NewFileName : string) : Boolean;

execute IBEBlock
returns (cout varchar(100))
as
begin
   if (ibec_MoveFile('d:\txt.csv', 'd:\txtcopy.csv')) then
      cout = 'Operation completed!';
    else
      cout = 'Operation NOT completed!';
  suspend;
end
