Renaming file

[kedarm]

Hi!

I'm trying to rename a file on my phone from the Python console. Following the instructions given here, I did the following -

>>> import os
>>> os.rename("C://Python//ball.py", "D://ball.py")
File <console>, line 1, in >
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

The file (ball.py) definitely exists, as I can access it from -
Application --> Python --> Run Script --> ball.py

I don't think this will affect anything, but I am using Python 1.4.5 with the high-capacity shell script.

Thanks
Kedar

Any idea how to move images?

Try this for copying one file from one location to another :

import e32
e32.file_copy("C:\\Data\\file.txt","E:\\file.txt")  #first argument is for Target, second is for Source

If u want to do MOVE FILE operation , then just delete the source file after copying it. Like this :

import e32, os
e32.file_copy("C:\\Data\\file.txt","E:\\file.txt")
os.remove("E:\\file.txt")

I tried removing a file from my D drive. I got an error saying "Permission Denied".

Is the D drive protected from the user? Can only signed applications remove files from the D drive?

Hi Kedar,

D: is a operating memory space or RAM(Read-Only) Even for
Z: Fixed memory Space or ROM (Read-only)

Requesting you to choose E: Memory Card Location and Try it out.It will work.
Assuming that you are Trying on 5th Edition Device or Nokia N97.

Thanks and Regards

I've been observing that every time I restart my phone, all the contents in the D drive get erased. Is that it in any way related to this?
