From: "Allton, Paul" Date: 2003-11-26T23:25:02+09:00 Subject: Stupid Question #498 - How do I move a directory? ------_=_NextPart_001_01C3B429.104C0C6E Content-Type: text/plain Preferably in a platform neutral manner, but it must definitely work on windows. Where 'old' and 'new' are fully qualified directory names: - File.move(old, new) results in: C:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/ftools.rb:62:in `readlink': The readlink() function is unimplemented on this machine (NotImplementedError) from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/ftools.rb:62:in `move' - system("move #{old} #{new}") - just returns false and does nothing - I expected Dir to have a move method, but couldn't find it. Obviously I could iterate through the files and move them one at time, but there must be a simpler way... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained herein is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
