movefile

Move (rename) a file or directory.

Syntax

movefile(source, destination)
movefile(source, destination, 'f')
[status, message, messageid] = movefile(...)

Description

Like copyfile but the source is removed after the move. Equivalent to a rename when source and destination are on the same filesystem.

Example

movefile('old.csv', 'new.csv')
