FAQ- Accessing Directories and Files Within (need further info)

Hi
I studied the win32 code for accessing the directory and files within. What I need to do is rename certain files in the directory. Right now using the code I can access the names of the files however I cannot change their names.
Can anyone guide me as to what other functions are availabe in windows.h file that I can use for renaming. Also is there any other way of having a list giving me what other functions are available and their description or documentation

I know one way would be to make new files (with whatever name I want ) and copy the contents of the current file to new one. But that is time consuming process and is not necessary

Thanks
Nipun

MoveFile()

Click on "File Management Functions" under "See Also".
Use the table of contents frame on the left to explore other functional groups of the Win32 API.

Thanks for the help the website gives me lot of funtions which will very useful for me,
I also saw this other function called rename( ) from previous threads which would be very useful for me

You can also use SHFileOperation to rename files.

>> I also saw this other function called rename( ) from previous threads
rename() simply calls MoveFile()
It's usefull if you trying to stick with ISO C-standard functions.

Skin that cat however you like :)
