How to move specific file from one directory to another one

The function is renameFile()

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

thanks for suggestions...but it didn't work as i expected.

let me explain you more clearly.

I have setting file directory where all setting file is stored...but this path is variable .

eg - for 40 nm  it is  ---/user/tech/40/setting/setting.file

for 15nm --   /prog/list/15/setting.file.

Also i selecting setting file via browse option.

Now when i export netlist CDL using si.env and system("si -batch -command netlist"); 

it is generating auCDL in my current working directory...

I want that as soon as i set my setting file...the generated CDL moves from current working directory to respective tecg setting file direcrtory..i.e for 40nm it should go into ---/user/tech/40/setting   folder and for 15nm it should go into --  /prog/list/15/ folder.

I hope it clears some clouds.

Thanks in advance

Robin

If this is urgent, you should contact customer support. This forum is a community forum and not a substitute for support - I only answer questions in my spare time (it's not part of my job) and I was on vacation - so answering forum questions wasn't a priority. Having some downtime was.

You didn't say why renameFile() wouldn't work (I think it should), plus if you're doing:

system("si -batch -command netlist")

presumably you could also do:

system("si -batch -command netlist; mv netlist.cdl /user/tech/40/setting"); or whatever the CDL file you're generating is called.

Your question was rather badly phrased, so it was very hard to know how to answer.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for suggestions..

system("si -batch -command netlist; mv netlist.cdl /user/tech/40/setting");  here /user/tech/40/setting is variable path

file_Label=hiCreateLabel(
?name 'file_Label
?labelText "Set File*"
?justification 'left
)
file_Entry=hiCreateStringField(
?name 'file_Entry
?callback "readSetFile(hiGetCurrentForm())"
)

browse_set_Entry=hiCreateButton(
?name 'browse_set_Entry
?buttonText "Browse..."
?callback "ddsFileBrowseCB(hiGetCurrentForm() 'set_file_Entry \"\" 'fileOnly)"
)

it will point to browse the  set file...

i want that when the move netlist it should copy in that directory of above set file.

Basically, how i can get that directory path .ie one step up from file path?

Robin,

There's no built-in function to find the directory part of a file name (unfortunately) so you'd probably do something like:

fileTailPattern=pcreCompile("/[^/]*$")
fileName=myForm->set_file_Entry->value ; your code above seems to call the field either file_Entry or set_file_Entry, so I'm not sure which is correct
dirName=pcreReplace(fileTailPattern fileName "" 1)
sprintf(command "si -batch -command netlist; mv netlist.cdl %s" dirName)
system(command)
