By default, the destination file is overwritten if it already exists. When <var>overwrite</var> is turned off, then files are only moved if the source file is newer than the destination file, or when the destination file does not exist.</p> <p><a href="../CoreTypes/resources.html#collection">Resource Collection</a>s are used to select a group of files to move. Only file system based resource collections are supported, this includes <a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">fileset</a>s, <a href="../CoreTypes/filelist.html">filelist</a> and <a href="../using.html#path">path</a>. Prior to Ant 1.7 only <code><fileset></code> has been supported as a nested element. To use a resource collection, the <code>todir</code> attribute must be set.</p> <p><b>Since Ant 1.6.3</b>, the <i>file</i> attribute may be used to move (rename) an entire directory. If <i>tofile</i> denotes an existing file, or there is a directory by the same name in <i>todir</i>, the action will fail. </p> <h3>Parameters</h3> <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td> <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td> <td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">file</td> <td valign="top">the file or directory to move</td> <td valign="top" align="center">One of <var>file</var> or at least one nested resource collection element</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">preservelastmodified</td> <td valign="top">Give the moved files the same last modified time as the original source files.

The default mapper used by <code><move></code> is the <a href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html#identity-mapper">identity</a>.</p> <p>Note that the source name handed to the mapper depends on the resource collection you use. If you use <code><fileset></code> or any other collection that provides a base directory, the name passed to the mapper will be a relative filename, relative to the base directory. In any other case the absolute filename of the source will be used.</p> <h4>filterchain</h4> <p>The Move task supports nested <a href="../CoreTypes/filterchain.html"> FilterChain</a>s.</p> <p> If <code><filterset></code> and <code><filterchain></code> elements are used inside the same <code><move></code> task, all <code><filterchain></code> elements are processed first followed by <code><filterset></code> elements. </p> <h3>Examples</h3> <p><b>Move a single file (rename a file)</b></p> <pre> <move file="file.orig" tofile="file.moved"/> </pre> <p><b>Move a single file to a directory</b></p> <pre> <move file="file.orig" todir="dir/to/move/to"/> </pre> <p><b>Move a directory to a new directory</b></p> <pre> <move todir="new/dir/to/move/to"> <fileset dir="src/dir"/> </move> </pre> <i>or, since Ant 1.6.3:</i> <pre> <move file="src/dir" tofile="new/dir/to/move/to"/> </pre> <p><b>Move a set of files to a new directory</b></p> <pre> <move todir="some/new/dir"> <fileset dir="my/src/dir"> <include name="**/*.jar"/> <exclude name="**/ant.jar"/> </fileset> </move> </pre> <p><b>Move a list of files to a new directory</b></p> <pre> <move todir="some/new/dir"> <filelist dir="my/src/dir"> <file name="file1.txt"/> <file name="file2.txt"/> </filelist> </move> </pre> <p><b>Append <code>".bak"</code> to the names of all files in a directory.</b></p> <pre> <move todir="my/src/dir" includeemptydirs="false"> <fileset dir="my/src/dir"> <exclude name="**/*.bak"/> </fileset> <mapper type="glob" from="*" to="*.bak"/> </move> </pre> </body> </html>
