Title: (Solved)Rename Directory
Post by: JLWest 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.
