Move Method

Description

Moves a specified file from one location to another.

PowerBASIC Syntax

METHOD Move (BYVAL bstrDestination AS STRING)

Arguments

bstrDestination

BSTR. Destination where the file is to be moved. Wildcard characters are not allowed.

Remarks

The results of the Move method on a File are identical to operations performed using FileSystemObject.MoveFile. You should note, however, that the alternative methods are capable of moving multiple files.

Example [PowerBASIC]

#INCLUDE "windows.inc"

#INCLUDE "scrrun.inc"

DIM fso AS IFileSystem

DIM pFile AS IFile

' Create an instance of the FileSystemObject

fso = NEWCOM "Scripting.FileSystemObject"

' Get a reference to the IFile interface

pFile = fso.GetFile(UCODE$("C:\MyPath\MyFile.txt"))

' Move the file to another location

pFile.Move UCODE$("C:\MyNewPath\MyFile.txt")

IF OBJRESULT = %S_OK THEN

MSGBOX "File moved"

ELSE

MSGBOX "Error &H" & HEX$(OBJRESULT) & " moving the file"

END IF
