Oh, and BEWARE!!!
If you have two files:
/FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/FileX.xxx
/FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/FileY.xxx
rename /FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/FileX.xxx to /FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/
FileY.xxx
You will end up with one file called FileY.xxx! IOW, if the file
exists in the destination path it will quite happily OVERWRITE it!
In the documentation it says:
Caution! This command can be used to rename or move files and
folders your stack did not create. Of course, a stack should not
rename or move files and folders it didn't create without obtaining
explicit confirmation from the user.
However it doesn't say *anything* about overwriting files!
It just gets worse!
All the Best

Hi,
But:
a) I'm not running Unix!
b) In the Unix the Command is "mv" (for move) and, AFAIR you can
say: mv /FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/Filex.xxx /FolderA/FolderB/FolderX/
which is what I was doing in the first place!
I just don't get it, you take the Unix "move" command, call it
"rename" and then stop it working like "move". ROFL! Makes no sense
at all to me! It's a crazy world!
All the Best

Dave,
in unix, moving a file is the same thing as renaming... ;-)

True, but I'm NOT renaming the file at all!!! It's name stays the
same! So it kinda don't make sense in the first place!!

Which makes sense, otherwise you'd be renaming the file as a

Hi,
One thing to note here is that:
rename "/FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/FileX.xxx" to "FolderA/FolderB/
FolderX/"
Does not work!
In order to make this work you have to use:
rename "/FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/FileX.xxx" to "FolderA/FolderB/
FolderX/FileX.xxx"
All the Best
Dave
