It was Friday, October 24, 2003 when Chinku Simon took the soap box, saying:
: Hi,
:
: Is there any inbuilt command by which we can rename a file (in WinNT)
Hi there. I'd give the rename() function a shot. :-)
perldoc -f rename
rename OLDNAME,NEWNAME
Changes the name of a file; an existing file NEWNAME will
be clobbered. Returns true for success, false otherwise.
Behavior of this function varies wildly depending on your
sys- tem implementation. For example, it will usually not
work across file system boundaries, even though the
system mv com- mand sometimes compensates for this. Other
restrictions include whether it works on directories,
open files, or pre- existing files. Check perlport and
either the rename(2) man- page or equivalent system
documentation for details.
