Version: Available or changed with runtime version 1.0.

• For now, just copy the code as-is, and – if necessary – change C: Logs to the appropriate folder. The other thing to keep in mind is the fact that when you rename a file using WMI, you must pass the entire file path to the Rename method. Suppose you want to rename the file C: Logs File1.txt to C: Logs Pl-File1.txt.
• Rename file Changes the name of the file or directory specified by oldname to newname. This is an operation performed directly on a file; No streams are involved in the operation. If oldname and newname specify different paths and this is supported by the system, the file is moved to the new location.

Renames an ASCII or binary file.

Note

This method is supported only in Business Central on-premises.

Configuration of the Geant4 installation. Open the console and go to the folder geant4.10.03-build. First you need to run cmake and the command with full launch options looks like: where -DCMAKEINSTALLPREFIX is a path of installation,. /geant4.10.03.p03 is the directory in which the source code is located.

Syntax

Note

This method can be invoked without specifying the data type name.

Parameters

OldName
 Type: String
The current name of the file that you want to change, including its path. When you enter the path, consider these shortcuts:

• You can omit the drive designation, if the file is located on the current drive.
• You can omit the full path, if the file is located in the current directory.
• You can enter only the subdirectory name, if the file is located in a subdirectory of the current directory.

NewName
 Type: String

• You can omit the drive designation, if the file is located on the current drive.
• You can omit the full path, if the file is located in the current directory.
• You can enter only the subdirectory name, if the file is located in a subdirectory of the current directory.

Return Value

[Optional] Ok
 Type: Boolean
true if the operation was successful; otherwise false. If you omit this optional return value and the operation does not execute successfully, a runtime error will occur.

Remarks

Typically, the return value is false if the file does not exist, or if the file is a system or hidden file.

Example

The following example changes the name of a text file that is named Testfile.txt to NewTestFile.txt. The path of the file that is renamed is C:TestFolderTestfile.txt. The name and path are stored in the varOldFile variable. The new name and path of the file are stored the varNewfile variable. The RENAME method uses the variables to change the name of the file. This example assumes that you have created the following file on your computer: C:TestFolderTestfile.txt.
