Moving a file to other directories Posted: Jun 20, 2002 7:27 AM

Hello everybody,
I have gotten a file in this way:
File f3=new File("H:\\results\\ext\\wrk\\"+sb+".xml");
Now I want to move this file to another directory for an example:
("H:\\results\\ext\\David\\);

Do anybody know how can I do it?

Thank you very much

David

use the following method in the File class:


renameTo
public boolean renameTo(File dest)
Renames the file denoted by this abstract pathname. 

Parameters:
dest - The new abstract pathname for the named file 
Returns:
true if and only if the renaming succeeded; false otherwise 
Throws: 
SecurityException - If a security manager exists and its SecurityManager.checkWrite(java.lang.String) method denies write access to either the old or new pathnames 
NullPointerException - If parameter dest is null
