(Solved)Rename Directory
« on: January 23, 2021, 04:53:45 am »
Is there a function to rename a directory. I see nothing in fileutils or Lazfileutils.
Thanks

A shot in the dark but, have you tried whether any of the RenameFile() or RenameFileUTF8() functions work if you pass them a directory name?

This works for me in FreeBSD and macOS and Windows 10:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program renamedir;
  2.  
  3. uses
  4.   sysutils;
  5.  
  6. begin
  7. if (renamefile('testdir1','testdir2')) then
  8.   WriteLn('Rename succeeded!')
  9. else
  10.   WriteLn('Rename failed!');
  11. end.
