rename and move files [message #25996]

Hi,

I am running IDL 5.4 under mac os 9.1

Is there any IDL routines for renaming and moving files? My situation is
that I first save processed data in a temp file in a temp directory.
Depending on the outcome, I will decide if I want to keep the file, and
move it to a 'permanent' directory. It's quite tedious to do all these
manually.

There are no internal IDL rounines for that purpose. You should form
OS command line and then use SPAWN.

If you save from IDL, quality control from IDL and save (or not) the
final file, couldn't you use the CD procedure to go to the "permanent" directory?
