rename a file on the C drive

Hello programmers,
Can anyone tell me how to rename a file using C?

Ex-
I have a file c:\My Documents\Test File\Test\testLog.log and I would like to have a C program that will run and test to see if the testLog.log file is there first then if so rename it. After it has been renamed the file testLog.log shouldn't be there any more.

Before:
c:\My Documents\Test File\Test\testLog.log

After:
c:\My Documents\Test File\Test\testLog1.log


Do I have to open two files? One being my file and the other being the one I want to rename it to? Then copy all of the info from file1 to file2? Or is there an easier way?

Thanks for your help,
Dan

Try the function rename, it's stdio.h

Code:

---

if(rename(oldname, newname ) != 0)
    printf("Rename Error");

---

you don't need to open files.

Can it be that simple? I will give it a try, Thanks!!!:o

Edge,
Thanks man that works great!!

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
char oldname[80], newname[80];

/* prompt for file to rename and new name */
printf("File to rename: ");
gets(oldname);
printf("New name: ");
gets(newname);

/* Rename the file */
if (rename(oldname, newname) == 0)
printf("Renamed %s to %s.\n", oldname, newname);
else
perror("rename");

return 0;
}

:D :D
