I do remember a problem with pathnames being over 80 characters - plugin API
problem. These were not over 80 (close 76!). I wrapped the path names in
a4d.utils.chopText and it still failed to move and rename. Since this is a
Active4D enhanced 4D command, I'm not sure that the chopped text would be
passed to 4D.
So...
Maybe someone else will confirm this. Just in case it is a bug and you need
move and rename, stick this method somewhere.
<code>
method "moveDocument"($fpath;$tpath)
$fdir := directory of($fpath)
$tdir := directory of($tpath)
$ffile := filename of($fpath)
$tfile := filename of($tpath)
if ($ffile = $tfile) //Plain move
move document($fpath;$tpath)
if (ok = 0)
return(false)
end if
else //move and rename
move document($fpath;$tdir+$ffile)
if (ok = 0)
return(false)
end if
move document($tdir+$ffile;$tdir+$tfile)
if (ok = 0)
move document($tdir+$ffile;$fpath) //?? put
file back??
return(false)
end if
end if
return(true)
end method
//test
$fpath := "/Macintosh
HD/Users/salex/work/AIDTdb/webrest/app/views/Citizens/show.a4d"
$tpath := "/Macintosh
HD/Users/salex/work/AIDTdb/webrest/rgen/xdelete/9BD1BB11show.a4d"
if(moveDocument($fpath;$tpath))
writebr("It moved and renamed file")
else
writebr("Something wrong, stupid ok set to 0")
end if
</code>
Never did like the stupid ok variable that you must test separately.
