movefile
Move file or directory
Calling Sequence
movefile('source','destination') [status,message] = movefile('source','destination')
Description
movefile('source','destination') moves the file or directory , source (and subdirectories) to the file or directory, destination.
If source is a directory, destination can not be a file. movefile replaces existing files without warning.
[status, message] = 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,message] = movefile(TMPDIR+"/scilab.start",TMPDIR+"/renamed_scilab.start")
