This item was deprecated in version 2019r2.1. Please use FolderItem.MoveTo as a replacement. |
Method
Moves the FolderItem to the path specified by Destination.
Notes
It does a move rather than a copy even when the source file is on another volume. After the move, the original file no longer exists. See the example of MoveFileTo in the Examples section for FolderItem. Check LastErrorCode to see if an error occurred.
Example
This example uses MoveFileTo. The source file will be deleted and moved into the destination folder.
Var f, g As FolderItem
f = FolderItem.ShowOpenFileDialog(FileTypes1.Text)
If f <> Nil Then // if the user didn’t cancel..
If f.Exists Then // if it is a valid file...
g = Volume(0).Child(f.Name)
If g <> Nil Then
f.MoveFileTo(g)
MessageBox("success!")
End If
End If
Else
MessageBox("File not found!")
End If
f = FolderItem.ShowOpenFileDialog(FileTypes1.Text)
If f <> Nil Then // if the user didn’t cancel..

g = Volume(0).Child(f.Name)
If g <> Nil Then
f.MoveFileTo(g)
MessageBox("success!")
