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.

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

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
