Orth <s.o...@the-aquila-group.com> Subject: RE: v13 - Renaming a Directory via code. If you only work on Windows (like me) you can take advantage of a Windows DOS command by creating a batch file with the following: SET ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE("_4D_OPTION_HIDE_CONSOLE";"TRUE") LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("cmd.exe /C rename "+$dir_current+" "+$dir_rename) You just need to account for any spaces in the path names, since they will need to be placed inside double quotes. Very simply, very fast...
