Title: Renaming a file
Post by: RuiLoureiro on April 11, 2008, 04:05:30 PM

Hi all,
I want to rename a file but i dont know how. I tried to use ReplaceFile but i have not the constant REPLACEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH in the windows.inc. How to do this ? Any help ?

New:

I found MoveFileEx but i have the same problem with MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH.
It is not defined in windows.inc. Anyone knows the value ?

Thank you
Rui

Rui,

Try this API.

Code Select


BOOL MoveFile(
    LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,	// address of name of the existing file  
    LPCTSTR lpNewFileName 	// address of new name for the file 
   );

This is the equate value from winbase.h.

Code Select


#define MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH          0x00000008

In MASM it should be,

Code Select


MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH equ 00000008h

LATER:

You must be using a very old windows.inc, the current two file version contains the equate. Download the latest release version from the masm32 subforum.
