Required Arguments

  • filePath: The filepath of the source file in the following format: ":resourceName/path". 'resourceName' is the name of the resource the file is in, and 'path' is the path from the root directory of the resource to the file.

Example

This example renames the file test1.txt that is in the root of the current resource to test2.txt. 

if fileRename( "test1.txt", "test2.txt" ) then
    outputConsole("File `test1.txt` successfully renamed to `test2.txt`")
else
    outputConsole("Unable to rename `test1.txt`")
end

This example moves the file test1.txt that is in the root of the current resource to myFolder folder. If this folder is not exists, it will be created before moving the file test1.txt. 

if fileRename( "test1.txt", "myFolder/test1.txt" ) then
    outputConsole("File `test1.txt` successfuly moved to `myFolder` folder")
else
    outputConsole("Unable to move `test1.txt`")
end
