Re: rename a folder

Yes, supposedly in ant if you do:

<move file=”c:/path/to/folder” tofile=”c:/path/to/newfolder” />

It will rename the folder.

Since Ant 1.6.3, the file attribute may be used to move (rename) an entire directory. If tofile denotes an existing file, or there is a directory by the same name in todir, the action will fail.

I’m not clear if you are supposed to use tofile or todir… since I don’t have ant set up to try it.

Ant does this, you say? Hmmm...

Thanks,

Yes, I did see this option, but it seemed like a lot of work to rename a folder. That’s why I asked. I was too lazy to look at the move code to see why it wouldn’t rename a folder, since Ant (I know it’s N(ot)Ant) did.

Bob:

Try the following on one or two folders as a test (make sure you create a back up, just in case). If you do not wish to purge old empty folders (with Company.* in name), you need to comment out the last delete line.  Good luck!

      <foreach item="Folder" property="folderpath">
                                <in>
                                     <items>
                                          <include name="C:\Builds\TestRename\8.0.0.4\Company.*" />
                                    </items>
                                 </in>
                                <do>
                                 <echo message="${folderpath}" />
                                <echo message="${string::replace(folderpath, 'Company.', '')}"/>
                                <move todir="${string::replace(folderpath, 'Company.', '')}">
                                     <fileset basedir="${folderpath}">
                                         <include name="*.*" />
                                     </fileset>
                                </move>
                                  <!-- commented out the following delete line if you do not want to purge old empty folders -->
                                      <delete dir="${folderpath}" />
                                </do>
             </foreach>

Seriously, this should be easy but it is not.



I want to rename folders.. but the move doesn’t seem to want to. Can move rename a folder. Any examples?



I am doing something like this:



<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<project name="TestRename" default="info">



                <foreach item="Folder" property="folderpath">

                                <in>

                                                <items basedir="C:\Builds\TestRename\8.0.0.4">

                                                                <include name="Company.*" />

                                                </items>

                                </in>

                                <do>

                                                <echo message="${folderpath}" />

                                                <echo message="${string::replace(folderpath, 'Company.', '')}"/>

                                                <move file="${folderpath}" todir="${string::replace(folderpath, 'Company.', '')}" verbose="true" />

                                </do>

                </foreach>



</project>



I’ve tried todir and tofile.  If I remark out the move the correct paths are displayed as messages.
