# Iso11783FSMove

[Valid for](../../../../Shared/FeatureAvailability.md): CANoe DE • CANoe4SW DE

## Function Syntax

```plaintext theme={null}
long Iso11783FSMove( char sourcePath[], char destPath[], dword movemode );
```

## Description

The function moves, copies or deletes a file or directory.

## Parameters

* **sourcePath**: Absolute file or directory source path
* **destPath**: Absolute file or directory destination path or 0 to delete the file or directory specified in `sourcePath`
* **movemode**:
  * **Bit 0**:
    * Value: 0 - Action: copy
    * Value: 1 - Action: move
  * **Bit 1**:
    * Value: 1 - delete option: force
  * **Bit 2**:
    * Value: 1 - delete option: recursive

The two delete options "recursive" and "force" only have an impact on the deletion process. In this context, recursive means the deletion of a directory with its content, whereas "force" enables a read-only file or directory to be deleted.

To rename a file, specify the new path and name in `destPath`. Renaming a file or directory can be combined with moving or copying it to a new location.

## Return Values

0 or [error code](../CAPLfunctionsISONLErrorCodes.md)

## Example

```plaintext theme={null}
// Move
Iso11783FSMove( "\TEST.TXT", "\DIR1\TEST.TXT", 0x00 );

// Copy & Rename
Iso11783FSMove( "\TEST.TXT", "\DIR1\TEST2.TXT", 0x01 );

// Delete (even, if "TEST.TXT" is read-only)
Iso11783FSMove( "\TEST.TXT", 0, 0x06 );
```
