Force rename and replace old file

[papiosaur]

Hello,

it will be possible to add a"force" option to Rename() ?

Example, i have this two file

file1.txt
file2.txt

I would like to rename file1.txt to file2.txt and overwrite file2.txt.

Thanks

I guess you just need to use Exists() to check if file2 exists, if it does, delete it, then rename the file1 to file2.

Code: Select all

Function My_Rename(OldFileName$, NewFileName$)

if Exists(NewFileName$) then DeleteFile(NewFileName$)
Rename(OldFileName$, NewFileName$)

endfunction

usage same as default Rename Command:

Code: Select all

My_Rename(File1$, File2$)

Thanks Bugala!

It's a good idea

I don't think to create a function and use it...
