file overwrite

[seera]

Hello.
I saw the simular code in this board about File Move.(It successed)
Then, I did a little modification of the code like that. ( Add Overwrite Option)
But, It failed.

My question is
if i wanna overwrite the file, before that, I delete 'already exists file'?
If i delete the 'already exists file', and call move function => success!

Just giving Overwrite Option is not enough?
Thanks in advance.

_LIT(KFilePathOldMove,"\\ModMobile\\abc.pl");
_LIT(KFilePathNewMove,"\\ModMobile\\aaa.pl"); //already exists.

RFs iFs;
iFs.Connect();

TBuf16<30> iFilePathOld;
iFilePathOld.Copy(KFilePathOldMove);

TBuf16<30> iFilePathNew;
iFilePathNew.Copy(KFilePathNewMove);

CFileMan* iFileMan=CFileMan::NewL(iFs);
CleanupStack::PushL(iFileMan);

TInt iErr=iFileMan->Move(iFilePathOld,iFilePathNew, EOverWrite);
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(iFileMan);
console->Printf(_L("\n aaa %d\n"), iErr);
iFs.Close();

Sorry, I do not understand what do you want to achieve. CFileMan::EOverWrite means "overwrite files with the same name". iFilePathNew should be "path indicating the directory into which the file(s) are to be moved". Try modifying your code the following way:

_LIT(KFileToMove,"\\ModMobile\\abc.pl");
_LIT(KTargetPath,"\\AnotherFolder");

RFs fs;
fs.Connect();
CleanupClosePushL(fs)

CFileMan* fileMan = CFileMan::NewL(fs);
CleanupStack::PushL(fileMan);

TInt err = fileMan->Move(KFileToMove, KTargetPath, CFileMan::EOverWrite);
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2); // fileMan, fs
console->Printf(_L("\n aaa %d\n"), err);

Hello Seera,

Try:

_LIT(KFilePathOldMove,"\\System\\abc.txt");
_LIT(KFilePathNewMove,"\\System\\apps\\abc.txt"); //already exists.
...
...
TInt iErr=iFileMan->Move(iFilePathOld,iFilePathNew, CFileMan::EOverWrite);

Regards.
Kiran.

Hello.

Dear ivey.
=> sorry, English is my second language. ^^;;
I wanna overwrite files with the same name.(same directory)
So I use the Move(oldfilename, newfilename, EOverWrite); => iErr = Already Exist Error;
But I use the Move(oldfilename, newfilename, CFileMan::EOverWrite);
=> It works.
I have to use the CFileMan::EOverWrite not EOverWrite as Kiran write.
I'm newbie for symbian program and C++. so I have no experience about that. So I mistaked ^^;;

Dear Kiran.
You always give me a great help!!! ^^
Thanks you!!!!!
