file movement

[jayrod_84]

I need to move a system file to another directory. I've got the name of the file in a variable.. I wish to do somethine w/ the file. then move it to another directory.

kind of like...

exec mv $filename some_dir

[daarius]

use copy();

but then i'd have 2 copies.. I want to do an actual move of the file.. unless I can do a delete file ?

then I could copy the file to the directory then delete the one in the current directory.
