how to rename a folder 2

[erft]

Dear All,
I am just unable to proceed folder rename - however the folder that is not empty. I've tried TSHFileOpStruct structure in numerous configurations but with little success (there is something wrong with pFrom and pTo fields: when assigning to string indicating a path, double backslash is turned into single).
Do you have some experience in this field?
Thank you in advance.

Why not use the VCL encapsulation RenameFile. It's much easier to use.

I thougth the same, but what he wants is to rename a folder not a file.

The double backslash to one is a C-thing IF YOU HAS CONSTANTS.

I.e. const char Testvariable[] = "c:\\Test";
actually contains "c:\Test" (without ") as C-compiler converts different special characters by using backslash-and-the-next to indicate which special character:
'\r' is carriage return (ASCII 10)
'\n' is Newline (ASCII 13)
'\b' is Bell (ASCII 7)
'\t' is Tab (ASCII 8)
(taken from memory, the ASCII values might be wrong)
There are other combinations also.

So, to get a backslash in a written constant you use '\\' where the first backslash Means "special character" and the second means Backslash.

Keep making it perfect and it will end up broken.

LastCyborg,
[tab]RenameFile will work with directories, too. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

Totte,
[tab]Did you mean to post that here or did the system post that in the wrong thread???
