Rename file

[Grovkillen]

If I have a fairly long file path and would like to rename it I get the "max path" error (CF_RESULT_CODE=183). How should I go about this?

Found a solution. Using Python:

Code: Select all

/*
python_code_copy_file:
import shutil
source = r'%PY_COPY_FILE_SOURCE%'
target = r'%PY_COPY_FILE_TARGET%'
shutil.copyfile(source, target)
*/
LabelToVar>python_code_copy_file,py_copy_file
PyExec>py_copy_file,temp

Well, I asked for rename... here's the rename variant:

Code: Select all

/*
python_code_rename_file:
import os
os.rename(r'%PY_RENAME_FILE_SOURCE%',r'%PY_RENAME_FILE_TARGET%')
*/
LabelToVar>python_code_rename_file,py_rename_file
PyExec>py_rename_file,temp

I think this may be useful and relevant. I recently learned about a command called robocopy. It doesn't have the long path issue. Haven't used it as of yet. You'd think they'd just fix the issue instead of making a separate command to overcome it. But that's what Microsuck does.

Ah, thanks. I'm going to test that next time.
