Thanks, Brad. I am using windows, and although I have found a way
using SPAWN to do it, maybe your procedures will be useful in some
future endeavour, so I dowloaded them anyways.

Hi Edwin,
assuming you're using windows, I've posted a DLL at:
http://people.uleth.ca/~brad.gom/fileio/FileIO.zip
I think I wrote this for version 5.0. There are wrapper procedures for
copying, moving, deleting and renaming files, as well as creating and
deleting directories, reading the file date, and checking the free
disk space. I never got around to turning it into a DLM (there is no
need since version 5.6.), but it should work. Another option would be
to use SPAWN.

Thanks guys, I finally got it working now.
Like you said, since I don't have IDL 5.5, I don't have those pre-made
functions, but I can just use IDL's SPAWN procedure to make DOS
commands for copying and so forth!
THANKS!!!!!!!

I am not sure but I believe they were added in idl5.6.

Oh, right.

I'm pretty sure nothing is free these days. :-(

No, you will probably have to spawn an OS command, I guess.

OK, thanks David, and I just did a little bit of reading online to
find out that FILE_MOVE also deals with renaming files. So FILE_COPY
and FILE_MOVE would cover all three of my requests. However, I have
IDL 5.5 only, and I think those two new routines were only added in
version 5.6.
Do you know if getting IDL 5.6 is free for 5.5 users? If not, is there
some way I can get the routines's source code and make my own
procedure using them?
Thanks,
Edwin

Maybe you didn't read far enough. I presume
FILE_COPY and FILE_MOVE might be useful. :-)
