Hello, I was trying to rename folder using movefile() function but realised that it only works on empty folders.
Is there anyway to rename this folder with files in it?
oldfolderdir = "c:\temp\oldfoldername_withstuffinit"
newfolderdir = "C:\temp\newfoldername_withstufffrom_oldfoldername"
movefile oldfolder newfolder

The movefile function can rename folders with files in them (I just tested on a folder on my computer) but it does depend on the write permissions you have. You can try using the following syntax for locations that are not writable.
