Hi all,

I have a (quite complex) tcl script with the line:

 puts "EXIST [file exists $dumpDir]"
 file rename $dumpDir $loadDir

and I get the output:

EXIST 0
error renaming "IAS-Finnat_5-1": no such file or directory
    while executing
"file rename $dumpDir $loadDir"
    (file "e:/cvs/xbrl/cvtdb/upgrade.tcl" line 43)

but the origin directory exists:

$ ls
CP04_5-0_Backup.mdb  IAS-Finnat_5-0_ol.mdb  IAS-Finnat_5-1.ldb
Prova_5-1.mdb
CP04_5-1.mdb         IAS-Finnat_5-1         IAS-Finnat_5-1.mdb

the same behaviour is under Windows (XP) and under cygwin, both at 8.4

Any hint?

the file rename works in the current pwd, so if your script is not running inside it, you will have to build the path with [file join] for example.
