Move.vi error10.

[epster88]

I checked the posts but couldn't find anything that explained my particular situation.

I am trying to rename a file by changing the extension from .tmp to .txt

That's it!

It is creating the new file (.txt), but not deleting the old (.tmp).  I also attached an image of the error message.

What am I missing other than my sanity?

Hi epster88,

did you check both path using probes or indicators?

For safety you should always use file functions to manipulate filenames (strip path/build path/GetFileExtension)...

The second path should be a directory if you're trying to move.

Apologies... The only issues I see with this is, that either the file already exists, or there is write permission error..

Hi NitinD,

no, the target path can include a filename, this example works fine for me:

My bad... guess i'm sleepy... I tried running it... it works fine in my computer... 

By it I meant the code in OP

Its working on my system for a hard disk path...

That's it.  I forgot that this account could only write to the directory, not delete or edit.

Thanks NitinD
