Today I’m going to show you how to rename a file using a method that VB itself provides.
Its syntax is:
Filesystem.rename(a,b)a is the input file, that is, the file to be renamed.
b is the output file name.
Please note that both parameters a and b must be given in full form.
Suppose you want to rename the file c:123.txt to 456.txt. Then you enter:
Filesystem.rename("c:123"."c:456.txt")Be careful! Both of my parameters include the file extension, and both include the drive letter and folder name.
If the b parameter does not contain the full name, the renamed file will be moved to the program’s root directory.
I hope that’s all clear!
This syntax works with both 2008 and 2005, but I haven’t tried it with VB6.
