RENAME
Format: RENAME [{FROM}] <name> [TO|AS] <name> [QUlET]
Template: FROM/A/M, TO=AS/A, QUIET/S
Purpose: To change the name of a file or directory.
Path: C:RENAME
Specification:
RENAME renames the FROM file or directory with the specifed TO name. FROM
and TO must be on the same disk. If the name refers to a directory, RENAME
leaves the contents of the directory unchanged (the directories and files
within that directory keep the same names and contents).
If you rename a directory, or if you use RENAME to give a file another
directory name (for example, you rename :Bill/letter to :Mary/Letter),
AmigaDOS changes the position of that directory or file in the filing
system hierarchy.
The colon before the directory indicates that the directory is in the root
directory.
Example 1:
1> RENAME Work/Prog1 AS :Arthur/Example
Renames the file Prog1 as Example, and moves it from the Work directory to
the Arthur directory. The Arthur directory must exist in the root directory
for this command to work.
Example 2:
1> RENAME 7.2Fax 8.16Fax 9.22Fax TO Faxes
Moves the 7.2Fax, 8.16Fax, and 9.22Fax files to the Faxes directory. The
Faxes directory must already exist.
