File Rename Problem

[WanHung]

Hi all,
My problem is sometime i cant rename the filename with my program. For example, before i edit the content of particular file, the filename is file_01.xml, then after i edit it and click the save button, i want to rename the filename to file_01_edited.xml. So, sometime it work but sometime not.

Below is my some coding. Anybody can help me? !0s first.....

String nfilename = tokenString[0] + "_edited";

File original = new File(directoryname + "\\" + "original" + "\\" + tokenString[0] + ".txt");
File noriginal = new File (directoryname + "\\" + "original" + "\\" + nfilename + ".txt");
boolean success1 = original.renameTo(noriginal);


File process = new File(directoryname + "\\" + "process" + "\\" + tokenString[0] + ".xml");
File nprocess = new File (directoryname + "\\" + "process" + "\\" + nfilename + ".xml");
boolean success2 = process.renameTo(nprocess);


File edit = new File(directoryname + "\\" + "edit" + "\\" + tokenString[0] + ".xml");
File nedit = new File(directoryname + "\\" + "edit" + "\\" + nfilename + ".xml");
boolean success3 = edit.renameTo(nedit);

As a fail safe, you might try a raw byte copy from the source file to the destination file if the rename fails. Is the renameTo function returning false, or is it throwing an exception?
