RENAME

Topic group Related topics Example

Renames a file on disk.

Syntax

RENAME <filename> TO <new name>

Description

RENAME is identical to the File object’s rename( ) method, except that as a command, the file name arguments are treated as names, not a character expressions. They do not require quotes unless they contain spaces or other special characters. If the name is in a variable, you must use the indirection or macro operators.

See rename( ) for details on the operation of the command.
