Moving a file

[Jef Sullivan <je...@ikano.com>]

Forgive the double posting on this message, if it occurs. 

I need help with some code..
I want to move a file (CVS) to another folder.
The code that I am using is this.

File file = new File("Summary_" + dateVar + ".csv");
File dir = new File(propStuff.getProperty("recordDir"));	// value is
written C:\\Workspace\\Reports\\

boolean success = file.renameTo(new File(dir, file.getName()));
If (!success) {
	// Error text
}

This keeps producing an error. The code is consistent on several websites
that I have found when googling 
on java: move a file. Any suggestions on how to get this working?

Additionally,
The error that I am getting is the file does not exist. 
Yet, the file does exists. I have verified its location,
and the spelling of the path and filename. Everything 
matches including the case sensitivity.
