Here’s how to use movefile() function.
Description:
Move, delete, or rename a file.
Syntax:
movefile(fn,path)
Note:
The function moves file fn to a file specified by parameter path. Delete file fn if path is absent; rename the file if only the file name is specified in the path.
Parameters:
|
fn |
A file |
|
path |
The path (with file name) along which the file is moved, or a file name |
Options:
|
@y |
Force an execution of the function if the target file already exists. Without the option you can’t force an execution. Delete the target file if parameter path is absent. |
|
@c |
Copy the file. If the target file name is the same as that of the specified file to which it will be moved, the copy fails. |
Return value:
Boolean value
