Input Parameters

FSSourceName	Specifies the source file or source folder for DIAdem file and folder commands. String variable Note  If you do not specify a path, DIAdem searches for the file or the folder in the NAVIGATOR user and library path. Note  In many commands, you can use the wildcard * for any number of characters, and the wildcard ? for one character.
FSTargetName	Specifies target folders or target files for DIAdem file and folder commands. String variable Note  If you use the FSTargetName variable in the DataFileCopy command, you only can assign one path to the variable. If you use the FSTargetName variable in the DataFileRename command, you only can assign one filename without an extension to the variable. Note  In many commands, you can use the wildcard * for any number of characters, and the wildcard ? for one character.
[FSProgressBar]	Specifies whether the progress bar, which the operating system displays during long operations, is visible. If you assign the value TRUE to the FSProgressBar variable, DIAdem does not display the progress bar. The default value for the FSProgressBar variable is FALSE. Boolean variable

Note  The FileMove command terminates the action as soon as an error occurs. DIAdem does not undo actions that it performed before the error occurred.

Note  DIAdem moves a local read-only file without a confirmation prompt. DIAdem cannot move files into a read-only file in a network.

Note  To move .tdm, .tdms and .dat type DIAdem files and the associated binary files, which contain the mass data, use the DataFileMove command.
