File operations applied to directories.
Q. Do file operations apply to directories. In other words, can you rename a file by calling FileRename? A. In this case, yes, renaming a directory is done using FileRename. The File Manager source code at http://members.aol.com/nfiedler/software.html does renaming, moving, copying and deleting of files and directories. Here is a summary of operations for files and directories: Operation File Folder (aka directory) ----------------------------------------------- Rename FileRename FileRename Delete FileDelete FileDeleteDir Move FileMove n/a Copy FileCopy n/a In the case of moving or copying directories you'll have to manually do the necessary FileDeleteDir and FileCreateDir. You'll also have to move all of the contents of the directories manually. Again, see the File Manager source code for examples.
