Hi,
This chunk of code in the build.xml renames both the file and the folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="Test" default="package">
<target name="package">
<move file="sri.xml" tofile="srikanth.xml" /> <!-- Rename a file -->
<move file="srikm" tofile="srikanth" /> <!-- Rename a folder -->
</target>
</project>
The folder srikm had subfolders in it and also files in them. The rename was
successful.
As you had rightly said, if you use todir, it will move the first dir into the
second dir.
Regards,
Srikanth

Subject: AW: Rename a dir
Thanks Antoine,
The ANT docu says:
Since Ant 1.6.3, the file attribute may be used to move (rename) an entire
directory. If tofile denotes an existing file, or there is a directory by the
same name in todir, the action will fail.
So my code seems to be correct.
I think todir will move the first dir inside the second dir and this is not a
rename.
So the question remains: How to rename a dir with ANT 1.7.1 and Windows XP?
Does anyone know?
Maybe I have a look in the code....
Greetings Juergen

try using the todir attribute instead of tofile. I am not sure what the end
result will be but this might be faster.
