Re: Re: moving files from folder1 to folder2

Why are you two talking about renaming the file? Am I not understanding what I'm asking? Is that what you'd need to do in order to transfer the file from one directory into another?

Would this be what I need?

use File::NCopy;

    # the below are the default config values
    $file = File::NCopy->new(
            'recursive'      => 0,
            'preserve'       => 0,
            'follow_links'   => 0,
            'force_write'   => 0,
            'set_permission' => \&File::NCopy::u_chmod,
            'file_check'     => \&File::NCopy::f_check,
            'set_times'      => \&File::NCopy::s_times,
    );
$file = File::NCopy->new(recursive => 1);
    $file->copy "/home/fred/public_html/temp/image.gif","/home/fred/pu
+blic_html/final/image.gif";

Oh, come on, show some initiative. Read the manual page, and learn what `rename` is about, and then try it out. Abigail	[reply]

What is your difference between moving and renaming? In UNIX language, you can rename a file if source and destination are in the same filesystem (aka partition). That's very fast, because only inode information is changed. If they are not: You copy the source file to destination and unlink the source file. That's the way it goes. If you use perl's rename, you should take care about this. That's why I pointed you to the CPAN module. It takes this care for you and does the same as mv(1) does (if renaming is not possible): Read the source file and write it to its destination. -- Frank	[reply]
