Cut files in foxpro code

[David3]

Hi!
very new to FoxPro , so if question is stupid -- sorry
I need to move files in foxpro from one location to another ... copy & delete those files -- is't good for me for some reasons .. What I need to do is either CUT or MOVE ...
Can anybody provide me with the syntax , please ?

Thanks to all

Try "RENAME" command, including paths:

RENA ...\AAA\BBB\CCC.TXT TO DDD\CCC.TXT

The only way I can think of is an API MoveFile call. The folowing sample creates a file and moves it.

DO movemyFile

lpFileName = "C:\Temp\mytest.txt" 
lpNewFileName = "C:\Temp\mytest1.txt" 

hFile = CreateFile (lpFileName, 0, 0, 0,; 
    CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, 0) 

= CloseHandle (hFile) 
= MoveFile (lpFileName, lpNewFileName) 

PROCEDURE  movemyFile 
    DECLARE INTEGER MoveFile IN kernel32; 
        STRING lpExistingFileName,; 
        STRING lpNewFileName 

    DECLARE INTEGER CreateFile IN kernel32; 
        STRING  lpFileName,; 
        INTEGER dwDesiredAccess,; 
        INTEGER dwShareMode,; 
        INTEGER lpSecurityAttributes,; 
        INTEGER dwCreationDisposition,; 
        INTEGER dwFlagsAndAttributes,; 
        INTEGER hTemplateFile 

    DECLARE INTEGER CloseHandle IN kernel32 INTEGER hObject
