Moving a file from one place to another?

I've managed to come up with my own tweaks to autopublish that rename the output file with data from the .dwg (with vl-file-rename), and have got the same .lsp script creating folders for me (with vl-mkdir), but I can't seem to find any info on moving files.

Is there a quick and easy command for taking a file from one location and moving it to another? I figure I could copy the file to the new location, then delete the original, but I assume there must be an easier way.

Under the operating system Move is a valid command so you may be able to use SHELL

Move \oldproject\XYZ.dwg \newdir\project

Vl-file-copy & Vl-file-delete appear to be valid

If I recall correctly, you can use vl-file-rename to move files from one location to another.

Confirmed, this worked. Thanks!

if you have many files batch move entire files from folder to destination folder

as suggested by BIGAL

example: move all acad backup files*.bak from a picked folder to temp folder

(vl-cmdf "shell"
 (strcat "move \""
	 (vl-string-right-trim "\\" (strcat (acet-ui-pickdir "" "")))
	 "\\[color="red"]*.bak[/color]\" \""
	 (getvar "tempprefix")
	 "\""
	 ) ;_ end of strcat
 ) ;_ end of vl-cmdf

- alternative -

copy paste to notepad, save as (all file) "test.vbs"

double click the file to invoke

CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").MoveFile "C:\Documents and Settings\XP\My Documents\[color="red"]*.bak[/color]", "c:\temp\"

vbs source from msdn
