Moving files to different directories?

davef101 · Oct 20, 2006

what code would move a .txt file from one directory to another directory on my server ?

Code:

use File::Copy;

move ("/home/directory/one/file.txt", "/home/somewhere/else/file.txt");

or just use perls rename() function:

Code:

rename("/home/directory/one/file.txt","/home/somewhere/else/file.txt");

File::Copy is a bit more flexible though if rename() doesn't work for some reason.
