{{PageDescription}}
|
||
|
|
* Filenames are variables or literal [[STRING]]s in quotes. Paths can be included.
|
||
|
|
* Long filenames can be used in QB64 only! Qbasic requires the DOS 8.3 (folder maximum of 8) naming convention.
|
||
|
|
* If the two paths are different, the statement moves the original file to the new path and renames it.
|
||
|
|
* If the path is the same or a path is not included, the original file is just renamed.
|
||
|
|
* [[SHELL]] can use "REN " + filename$ + " " newname$ in DOS.
|
||
|
|
* Path or filename [[ERROR Codes|errors]] are possible and should be handled in the program.
|
||
|
|
* '''CAUTION: There is no prompt to continue or execution verification!'''
