This sounds like a job for the OS. If you have to do it in C, have the OS do it with system() calls.
If you're bored, you can always read in a file, and write it out again somewhere else.
Or, if it's for Windows only, use MoveFile.

Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.

... MoveFile("C:\\from\\here.txt", "C:\\to\\here.txt");

it should be
int main(void) - read FAQ
BOOL has no meaning in this context
C is caseSensetive - so movefile and MoveFile are 2 different functions
