Rewrote a program in Julia, that I had written in Python 2, that I never got working. It was a seemingly simple file rename. I went through the same process of building the before and after file rename strings first, and after they looked right. ran the program. It was probably a stupid mistake on my part. However I know I wrote Python rename programs in the past, but for whatever reason it didn’t work in this situation. Perhaps the directory was nested too deep or other such nonsense, at any rate it didn’t work. And I tried 2 different commands in Python…and both failed…see below!
os.rename(orgName, nName)
shutil.move(orgName, nName)
However in Julia I simply used the mv(src,dest) command that works like the linux “mv” command…and it worked as expected!
