# Function Reference

DirMove

Moves a directory and all sub-directories and files.

DirMove ( "source dir", "dest dir" [, flag] )

Parameters

source dir | Path of the source directory (with no trailing backslash). e.g. "C:\Path1"
dest dir | Path of the destination dir (with no trailing backslash). e.g. "C:\Path_Copy"
flag | [optional] this flag determines whether to overwrite files if they already exist: 0 = (default) do not overwrite existing files 1 = overwrite existing files

Return Value

Success: | Returns 1.
Failure: | Returns 0 if there is an error moving the directory.

Remarks

If the source and destination are on different volumes or UNC paths are used then a copy/delete operation will be performed rather than a move.
If the destination already exists and the overwrite flag is specified then the source directory will be moved inside the destination.
Because AutoIt lacks a "DirRename" function, use DirMove to rename a folder!
