I'm writing a program to convert file and directory names from DOS and WP 5.1 and am having trouble figuring out how to rename a directory in VFP...I need to rename a directory like c:\client\0016 to something like "Sablan vs. Smith"

Can this be done in VFP/a batch file/Windows? I've looked at using !RENAME...but the spaces cause problems (also tried the "_" character). The new filename gets truncated at the space.

It seems the RENAME command in VFP won't work on a directory.

Help/input is appreciated. Thanks. J
