folder.moveTo( )  


 

The folder.moveTo( ) method moves or renames the Folder object (source folder) into the specified destinationFolder

The destinationFolder must exist on disk, otherwise an error is generated.  

By default, the folder retains its name when moved. If you want to rename the moved folder, pass the new name in the newName parameter. The new name must comply with naming rules (e.g,. it must not contain characters such as ":", "/", etc.), otherwise an error is returned.

 

Returned object

The method returns the moved Folder object.

Example  

You want to move and rename a folder:

 C_OBJECT($tomove;$moved)
 $docs:=Folder(fk documents folder)
 $tomove:=$docs.folder("Pictures")
 $tomove2:=$tomove.moveTo($docs.folder("Archives");"Pic_Archives")
