Syntax
movefile(source, destination) [status, message] = movefile(source, destination)

- source
a character string.

Description
movefile(source, destination) moves the file or directory
source (and subdirectories) to the file or directory
destination.
If source is a directory, destination cannot be a file.
 | movefile replaces existing files without
warning. |
[status, msg] = movefile(source, destination) moves source to destination, returning the status and a message.
Whatever the operating system, if the move succeeds, the
status is 1 and the message is
empty; if the move fails, the status is 0 and the
message is not empty.
Examples
copyfile(SCI+"/etc/scilab.start",TMPDIR+"/scilab.start") [status, msg] = movefile(TMPDIR+"/scilab.start",TMPDIR+"/renamed_scilab.start")
