dose anyone no of a easy way to move a file to a new location?
you may want to use a shell command
[syntax="qbasic"]SHELL ""[/syntax]
I'm not sure of the move file command, but if you search for it, you should get it wasily enough
otherwise, just open the file, and create a new file in teh new directory, then copy contents into new file, KILL the old file

ok, I got it
[syntax="qbasic"]copy [source] [dest][/syntax]
Code:
INPUT "File To Move: ", $file
INPUT "Destination Folder: ", $dest
SHELL "copy "; $file;" "; $dest

[EDIT] This is where I got the stuff, if you want to do more complex things:

Or, you could just use QBs builtin move function.
Code:
NAME "afile.txt", "folder\moved.txt"
Several years ago there was no MOVE command in DOS, and you had to use a move utility. Now, there is a MOVE. Get on the command line, and enter this:
MOVE /?
That will tell you the syntax.
Do a few tests.
Now you're ready to perform a MOVE within your program's SHELL command.

No problem, you're welcome.
Ok, hope you get it to work like you want.
