Name

[nimdays]

Code: Select all

name "E:\FreeBASIC-1.02.0-win32\project\php","E:\FreeBASIC-1.02.0-win32\project\fltk\php"

From the manual : Renames a file or folder originally called oldname to newname.
But from the code above ,php directory now inside fltk folder ,this is like move yes ?
Just curious before i change my little file manager again.
Thanks

Someone knows what the reason for this keyword is not to be named simply 'rename' ? This would release by the way access to name as a variable name.

Code: Select all

Name Name, Rename

I see. I'll continue to use ID for variables so, as a synonym.

IMO, it's best to avoid using as a variable name anything that MIGHT be, or become, a keyword. So call your variable xname, or pname, or something like that.

To give you the full explanation, 'name' is a very standard property for many objects in visual basic.
