VBScript » FileSystemObject » MoveFile
Version: 2.0
- Syntax:
- object.MoveFile source, destination
- source
- Accepts a path to the file(s) being moved.
- destination
- Accepts a path to where the file(s) will be moved to.
Moves one or more files from one location to another.
Wildcards can be used within the
source string, providing it is the
last component in the path, to enable the moving of multiple files, but
cannot be used in the destination
string. Note that if the source
does contain wildcards, or if the destination ends with a back-slash (path
separator), it is automatically assumed that the destination is an existing folder and any
matching files are moved to it.
Examples
Code:
<%
dim filesys
set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FileExists("c:\sourcefolder\anyfile.html") Then
filesys.MoveFile "c:\sourcefolder\anyfile.html", "c:\destfolder\"
End If
%>Explanation:
It is recommended that you use the FileExists method when moving a file - if a source file doesn't exist you'll get an error. An error also occurs if the destination is a directory or an existing file.
