;Task: |
|||
In this task, the job is to rename the file called "input.txt" into "output.txt" and a directory called "docs" into "mydocs". This should be done twice: once "here", i.e. in the current working directory and once in the filesystem root. |
|||
Rename: |
|||
:::* a file called '''input.txt''' into '''output.txt''' and |
|||
:::* a directory called '''docs''' into '''mydocs'''. |
|||
This should be done twice: |
|||
once "here", i.e. in the current working directory and once in the filesystem root. |
|||
It can be assumed that the user has the rights to do so. |
|||
(In unix-type systems, only the user root would have |
|||
sufficient permissions in the filesystem root.) |

![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Rename:
- a file called input.txt into output.txt and
- a directory called docs into mydocs.
This should be done twice:
once "here", i.e. in the current working directory and once in the filesystem root.
It can be assumed that the user has the rights to do so.
(In unix-type systems, only the user root would have
sufficient permissions in the filesystem root.)
11l
fs:rename(‘input.txt’, ‘output.txt’)
fs:rename(‘docs’, ‘mydocs’)
fs:rename(fs:path:sep‘input.txt’, fs:path:sep‘output.txt’)
fs:rename(fs:path:sep‘docs’, fs:path:sep‘mydocs’)

The behavior depends on the concrete operating system regarding:
- file name encoding issues;
- file path notation (directory separator, directory syntax etc);
- file extension syntax;
- file system root (provided there is any).

Note: reidf does not appear to be included in ALGOL 68G. Also note that file names would be Operating System dependent.

AWK
Awk allows to call operating system commands with the system() function. However, the awk script won't get its output, only the return code. But this task is simple enough for the trivial implementation to work:
$ awk 'BEGIN{system("mv input.txt output.txt")}'
$ awk 'BEGIN{system("mv docs mydocs")}'
$ awk 'BEGIN{system("mv /input.txt /output.txt")}'
$ awk 'BEGIN{system("mv docs mydocs")}'
BaCon
RENAME "input.txt" TO "output.txt"
RENAME "/input.txt" TO "/output.txt"
RENAME "docs" TO "mydocs"
RENAME "/docs" TO "/mydocs"
BASIC
NAME "input.txt" AS "output.txt"
NAME "\input.txt" AS "\output.txt"
NAME "docs" AS "mydocs"
NAME "\docs" AS "\mydocs"
Applesoft BASIC
Apple DOS 3.3 has a flat filesystem with no concept of directories. DOS commands such as RENAME are run directly from the Applesoft prompt but are not technically part of Applesoft BASIC. Thus, attempting to add this line to a program and run it results in a syntax error on that line.
RENAME INPUT.TXT,OUTPUT.TXT
To use a DOS command from a program, use the BASIC statement PRINT followed by CHR$(4) and the string containing the DOS command.
10 PRINT CHR$ (4)"RENAME INPUT.TXT,OUTPUT.TXT"
Apple ProDOS does have directories. To change the current working directory to the "root" directory, issue a PREFIX / command.
10 PRINT CHR$ (4)"RENAME INPUT.TXT,OUTPUT.TXT"
20 PRINT CHR$ (4)"RENAME DOCS,MYDOCS"
30 PRINT CHR$ (4)"PREFIX /"
40 PRINT CHR$ (4)"RENAME INPUT.TXT,OUTPUT.TXT"
50 PRINT CHR$ (4)"RENAME DOCS,MYDOCS"
Commodore BASIC
Works with Commodore BASIC V2.0 as follows:
OPEN 15,<Device>,15,"R<DRIVE>:FilenameOLD=FilenameNEW":CLOSE 15
Works with Commodore BASIC 3.5 and above as follows:
RENAME <FilenameOLD>[,D<DRIVE>] TO <FilenameNEW> [ON U<Deviceadress>]
ZX Spectrum Basic
The ZX Spectrum basic does not not have a facility to rename a file on the microdrive. To rename a file, it is necessary to delete the file and recreate it. Alternatively, a machine code program can be used to achieve this.
Batch File
ren input.txt output.txt
ren \input.txt output.txt
ren docs mydocs
ren \docs mydocs
BBC BASIC
When the file or directory names are known as constants at 'compile time':
*RENAME input.txt output.txt
*RENAME \input.txt \output.txt
*RENAME docs. mydocs.
*RENAME \docs. \mydocs.
When the file or directory names are known only at run time:
OSCLI "RENAME input.txt output.txt"
OSCLI "RENAME \input.txt \output.txt"
OSCLI "RENAME docs. mydocs."
OSCLI "RENAME \docs. \mydocs."
Bracmat
ren$("input.txt"."output.txt") { 'ren' is based on standard C function 'rename()' }
ren$(docs.mydocs) { No quotes needed: names don't contain dots or colons. }
ren$("d:\\input.txt"."d:\\output.txt") { Backslash is escape character, so we need to escape it. }
ren$(@"d:\docs".@"d:\mydocs") { @ used as syntactic sugar as in C# for inhibiting escape. }

This can also be done interactively with M-x rename-file
. Programmatically the default is to throw an error if the new name already exists but the "ok-if-already-exists" parameter can either forcibly overwrite or query the user. Query is the default interactively.
Erlang
file:rename("input.txt","output.txt"),

file:rename( "/input.txt", "/output.txt" ),
file:rename( "/docs", "/mydocs" ).
ERRE
Renaming a file using ERRE language is a operating system-dependant operation. In PC version you must use the SHELL command like:
CMD$="REN "+OLDFILENAME$+" "+NEWFILENAME$ SHELL CMD$
with an obvious meaning of the string variables. You can specify a path using DOS conventions. In C64 version you must use
OPEN(15,8,15,"R0:"+NF$+"="+OF$) CLOSE(15)
with an obvious meaning of the string variables.
F#

MUMPS
ANSI MUMPS doesn't allow access to the operating system except possibly through the View command and $View function, both of which are implementation specific. Intersystems' Caché does allow you to create processes with the $ZF function, and if the permissions for the Caché process allow it you can perform operating system commands.
In Cache on OpenVMS in an FILES-11 filesystem ODS-5 mode these could work:
;Local
S X=$ZF(-1,"rename input.txt output.txt")
S X=$ZF(-1,"rename docs.dir mydocs.dir")
;Root of current device

PARI/GP
GP has no built-in facilities for renaming, but can use a system call:
system("mv input.txt output.txt");
system("mv /input.txt /output.txt");
system("mv docs mydocs");
system("mv /docs /mydocs");
PARI, as usual, has access to all the standard C methods.
Alternatively it's possible to bind rename() system call to a new function:
install("rename","iss","rename");
rename("input.txt", "output.txt");

The core rename($oldfile,$newfile)
can rename a file within a directory, but has the usual limitations of the rename()
system call or C library function, which means generally not working across filesystems, and perhaps not working to rename directories. move()
does a copy and delete when necessary.

RNAME ( ‘old’ ‘new’ boolean -- ) Set here to true if already at root Store arguments Store current path in stack and go to the root Detect if old is a directory by recalling its content If yes, create new then delete old Otherwise, store content in new, then delete old Go back to current directory following the path in stack Forget path |
- Input:
'Input' 'Output' 1 RNAME 'DOCS' 'MYDOCS' 0 RNAME
The boolean argument indicates if the renaming must be achieved in the current directory (1) or at the root (0).
Ruby
File.rename('input.txt', 'output.txt')
File.rename('/input.txt', '/output.txt')
File.rename('docs', 'mydocs')
File.rename('/docs', '/mydocs')
With 'fileutils' from the standard library: The FileUtils#move method has some more flexibility than the core File#rename method (not really demonstrated here).
require 'fileutils'
moves = { "input.txt" => "output.txt", "/input.txt" => "/output.txt", "docs" => "mydocs","/docs" => "/mydocs"}
moves.each{ |src, dest| FileUtils.move( src, dest, :verbose => true ) }
Run BASIC
RB has no direct command. You Shell out to windows or unix.
a$ = shell$("RENAME input.txt output.txt")
a$ = shell$("RENAME docs mydocs")
a$ = shell$("RENAME \input.txt \output.txt")
a$ = shell$("RENAME \docs \mydocs")
Rust
use std::fs;
fn main() {
let err = "File move error";
fs::rename("input.txt", "output.txt").ok().expect(err);
fs::rename("docs", "mydocs").ok().expect(err);
fs::rename("/input.txt", "/output.txt").ok().expect(err);
fs::rename("/docs", "/mydocs").ok().expect(err);

Scala
Straight forward
import scala.language.implicitConversions
import java.io.File
object Rename0 {
def main(args: Array[String]) { // The implicit causes every String to File mapping,
implicit def file(s: String) = new File(s) // will be converted to new File(String)
"myfile.txt" renameTo "anotherfile.txt"
"/tmp/myfile.txt" renameTo "/tmp/anotherfile.txt"
"mydir" renameTo "anotherdir"
"/tmp/mydir" renameTo "/tmp/anotherdir"
}
}
Alternative
object Rename1 {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
List(("myfile.txt", "anotherfile.txt"),("/tmp/myfile.txt", "/tmp/anotherfile.txt"),
("mydir", "anotherdir"),("/tmp/mydir", "/tmp/anotherdir")).foreach{ case (oldf, newf) ⇒
new java.io.File(oldf) renameTo new java.io.File(newf)
}
}
}
Scheme
(rename-file "input.txt" "output.txt")
(rename-file "docs" "mydocs")
(rename-file "/input.txt" "/output.txt")
(rename-file "/docs" "/mydocs")
Seed7
The library osfiles.s7i defines the function moveFile, which renames / moves a file. Seed7 uses a standard path representation to make paths operating system independent. In the standard path representation a / is used as path delimiter and drive letters like C: must be written as /c instead. Creating files and directories in a file system root may need privileges, so the program may fail, when it is started by a normal user.
$ include "seed7_05.s7i";
include "osfiles.s7i";
const proc: main is func
begin
moveFile("input.txt", "output.txt");
moveFile("docs", "mydocs");
moveFile("/input.txt", "/output.txt");
moveFile("/docs", "/mydocs");
end func;
Under Windows each filesystem has its own root. Therefore you need to replace "/input.txt", "/output.txt", "/docs" and "/mydocs" with "/c/input.txt", "/c/output.txt", "/c/docs" and "/c/mydocs".
Sidef
# Here
File.rename('input.txt', 'output.txt');
File.rename('docs', 'mydocs');
# Root dir
File.rename(Dir.root + %f'input.txt', Dir.root + %f'output.txt');
File.rename(Dir.root + %f'docs', Dir.root + %f'mydocs');
Slate
(File newNamed: 'input.txt') renameTo: 'output.txt'.
(File newNamed: '/input.txt') renameTo: '/output.txt'.
(Directory newNamed: 'docs') renameTo: 'mydocs'.
(Directory newNamed: '/docs') renameTo: '/mydocs'.
Smalltalk
File rename: 'input.txt' to: 'output.txt'.
File rename: 'docs' to: 'mydocs'.
"as for other example, this works on systems
where the root is / ..."
File rename: '/input.txt' to: '/output.txt'.
File rename: '/docs' to: '/mydocs'
'input.txt' asFilename renameTo: 'output.txt'.
'docs' asFilename renameTo: 'mydocs'.
'/input.txt' asFilename renameTo: '/output.txt'.

Standard ML
OS.FileSys.rename {old = "input.txt", new = "output.txt"};
OS.FileSys.rename {old = "docs", new = "mydocs"};
OS.FileSys.rename {old = "/input.txt", new = "/output.txt"};
OS.FileSys.rename {old = "/docs", new = "/mydocs"};
Stata
Use a shell command. The following works on Windows, there are similar commands on other operating systems.
!ren input.txt output.txt
!ren docs mydocs
Tcl
Assuming that the Bash example shows what is actually meant with this task (one file and one directory here, one file and one directory in the root) and further assuming that this is supposed to be generic (i.e. OS agnostic):
file rename inputs.txt output.txt
file rename docs mydocs
file rename [file nativename /inputs.txt] [file nativename /output.txt]
file rename [file nativename /docs] [file nativename /mydocs]
Without the need to work on unusual platforms like Mac OS 9, the code could be just:
file rename inputs.txt output.txt
file rename docs mydocs
file rename /inputs.txt /output.txt
file rename /docs /mydocs
Toka
needs shell
" input.txt" " output.txt" rename
" /input.txt" " /output.txt" rename
" docs" " mydocs" rename
" /docs" " /mydocs" rename
TorqueScript
fileCopy("Input.txt", "Output.txt");
fileDelete("Input.txt");
for(%File = FindFirstFile("Path/*.*"); %File !$= ""; %File = FindNextFile("Path/*.*"))
{
fileCopy(%File, "OtherPath/" @ %File);
fileDelete(%File);
}
TUSCRIPT
$$ MODE TUSCRIPT
- rename file
ERROR/STOP RENAME ("input.txt","output.txt")
- rename directory
ERROR/STOP RENAME ("docs","mydocs",-std-)
TXR
TXR works with native paths.
(rename-path "input.txt" "output.txt")
;; Windows (MinGW based port)
(rename-path "C:\\input.txt" "C:\\output.txt")
;; Unix; Windows (Cygwin port)
(rename-path "/input.txt" "/output.txt"))
Directories are renamed the same way; input.txt
could be a directory.
UNIX Shell
mv input.txt output.txt
mv /input.txt /output.txt
mv docs mydocs
mv /docs /mydocs
Vedit macro language
Vedit allows using either '\' or '/' as directory separator character, it is automatically converted to the one used by the operating system.
// In current directory
File_Rename("input.txt", "output.txt")
File_Rename("docs", "mydocs")
// In the root directory
File_Rename("/input.txt", "/output.txt")
File_Rename("/docs", "/mydocs")
Visual Basic .NET
Platform: .NET
'Current Directory
IO.Directory.Move("docs", "mydocs")
IO.File.Move("input.txt", "output.txt")
'Root
IO.Directory.Move("\docs", "\mydocs")
IO.File.Move("\input.txt", "\output.txt")
'Root, platform independent
IO.Directory.Move(IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar & "docs", _
IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar & "mydocs")
IO.File.Move(IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar & "input.txt", _
IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar & "output.txt")
Wren
Wren-cli does not currently have the ability to rename directories, just files.
import "./ioutil" for FileUtil
FileUtil.move("input.txt", "output.txt")
FileUtil.move("/input.txt", "/output.txt")
