Rename a file with FSRW?

JonnyMac

I'm tired so I may be looking right past the obvious... but is there a way to rename a file with FSRW?

I don't think so. I know the original FSRW 2.4 didn't have a rename operation and I don't think that was added in FSRW 2.6

Thanks, Mike; I guess I'll just delete said file.

The directory is just a specially formatted file, so you could write your own rename method.· I might get around to doing that tonight after work.· Hopefully, FSRW will allow me to write to the directory.· I am developing a standard C-function interface to FSRW for CLib, and I wrote a readdir method to provide the information I needed for directory listings.· Take a look at the attached fsrwif.spin file.· Wikipedia has a good description of the directory structure under "File Allocation Table".

No, fsrw supports neither directory "write" nor rename. Rename is not too hard but you *do* need to avoid duplicate names, delete a
file that is renamed-over (or error-out if you decide on those semantics), and said deletion must of course free the cluster chain.

FSRW was never intended to be a full POSIX filesystem; that's more Kye's ambition than mine.

I have two more weeks of finals (I'll be done on Tuesday next week) After that I'll be working on the FATEngine soon and releasing it with all wanted features.

Cheers,
