How to rename files

This topic describes how to rename files.

Using Rename()

The following code fragment does not rename the directory bottomdir , but moves it from directory middledir to topdir :

       
        
       
       RFs fs;
...
_LIT(KOldDir,"\\topdir\\middledir\\bottomdir\\");
_LIT(KNewDir,"\\topdir\\bottomdir\\");
...
fs.Rename(KOldDir,KNewDir);
      

Using IsValidName()

When specifying a name, any spaces between the drive, if specified, and the first directory in the path are illegal.

The following code fragment returns false:

       
        
       
       ...
_LIT(KDirName,"C: \\DIR\\");
TBool bool=fs.IsValidName(KDirName);
...
