Hi all,
Is there any method by which I can RENAME a file using Java (not invoking a MSDOS command) ? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Anoop

You read it in. You write it out to a new name. You delete the old one.

Cindy, thanks for your help. Wonder how I didn't think of it.

you might be doing extra work then needed all you need to do is
call method renameTo on File object.
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File f = new File("c:/dude.txt");
File newObj = new File("c:/d.txt");
f.renameTo(newObj);
}
}
