- Yup. In Pascal you can do it With the Rename command. The Format is:
-
- Rename (Var F; NewName : String)
-
- where F is a File Variable of any Type.
-
- to move a File Really fast, and to avoid having to copy it somewhere first and
- then deleting the original, do this:
- }
-
- Procedure MoveIt; {No error checking done}
- Var
- F : File;
- FName : String;
- NName : String;
- begin
- Assign (F, FName);
- NName:= {new directory / File name}
- Rename (F, NName);
- End.
