The following code below uses Launch External Process to move a folder and all of its contents to a new directory:

// Method: moveFolder // Parameters // $1 - Path of folder to be moved // $2 - Path of destination directory // ---------------------------------------------------- C_TEXT($1;$2;$src;$dest;$cmd) $src:=$1 $dest:=$2 Case of : (Folder separator="\\") //win   $cmd:="cmd.exe /C move " : (Folder separator=":") //mac   $cmd:="mv " End case SET ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE("_4D_OPTION_HIDE_CONSOLE";"TRUE") LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($cmd+$src+" "+$dest)

Note: If the destination directory is in a directory where 4D does not have write permission, the source folder will not be moved.

Below is an example of using the method above to move a folder to a new directory in Windows:

$src:="C:\\Users\\Username\\Desktop\\SourceFolder" $dest:="C:\\Users\\Username\\Desktop\\DestFolder" moveFolder($src;$dest)

Below is an example of using the method above to move a folder to a new directory on a Macintosh:

$src:="/Users/Username/Desktop/SourceFolder" $dest:="/Users/Username/Desktop/DestFolder" moveFolder($src;$dest)
