MOVE

The MOVE keyword relocates or renames files within the bot's drive storage.

Syntax

MOVE "source" TO "destination"
result = MOVE "source" TO "destination"

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`source`	String	Current path of the file
`destination`	String	New path for the file

Description

MOVE transfers a file from one location to another within the bot's storage. The original file is removed after the move completes. This keyword can also be used to rename files by moving them to a new name in the same directory.

Use cases include:

Organizing files into folders
Renaming files
Archiving processed files
Moving uploads to permanent storage

Examples

Basic File Move

' Move a file to a different folder
MOVE "inbox/document.pdf" TO "processed/document.pdf"
TALK "File moved to processed folder"

Rename a File

' Rename by moving to same directory with new name
MOVE "reports/report.pdf" TO "reports/sales-report-2025.pdf"
TALK "File renamed successfully"

Move After Processing

' Process file then move to archive
content = READ "incoming/data.csv"
' ... process the data ...

MOVE "incoming/data.csv" TO "archive/data-" + FORMAT(NOW(), "YYYYMMDD") + ".csv"
TALK "Data processed and archived"

Organize User Uploads

' Move uploaded file to user's folder
HEAR uploaded_file

temp_path = UPLOAD uploaded_file TO "temp"
permanent_path = "users/" + user.id + "/documents/" + uploaded_file.name

MOVE temp_path.path TO permanent_path
TALK "File saved to your documents"

Move with Category

' Organize files by type
file_type = GET_FILE_TYPE(filename)

SWITCH file_type
    CASE "pdf"
        MOVE "uploads/" + filename TO "documents/" + filename
    CASE "jpg", "png"
        MOVE "uploads/" + filename TO "images/" + filename
    CASE "csv", "xlsx"
        MOVE "uploads/" + filename TO "data/" + filename
    CASE ELSE
        MOVE "uploads/" + filename TO "other/" + filename
END SWITCH

TALK "File organized into " + file_type + " folder"

Batch Move

' Move all files from one folder to another
files = LIST "temp/"

FOR EACH file IN files
    MOVE "temp/" + file.name TO "permanent/" + file.name
NEXT

TALK "Moved " + LEN(files) + " files"

Return Value

Returns an object with move details:

Property	Description
`result.source`	Original file path
`result.destination`	New file path
`result.size`	File size in bytes
`result.moved_at`	Timestamp of move operation

Error Handling

ON ERROR RESUME NEXT

MOVE "documents/report.pdf" TO "archive/report.pdf"

IF ERROR THEN
    PRINT "Move failed: " + ERROR_MESSAGE
    TALK "Sorry, I couldn't move that file."
ELSE
    TALK "File moved successfully!"
END IF

Common Errors

Error	Cause	Solution
`FILE_NOT_FOUND`	Source doesn't exist	Verify source path
`PERMISSION_DENIED`	Access blocked	Check permissions
`DESTINATION_EXISTS`	Target file exists	Delete target first or use different name
`SAME_PATH`	Source equals destination	Use different destination

Move vs Copy

Operation	Source After	Use When
`MOVE`	Deleted	Relocating or renaming
`COPY`	Preserved	Creating duplicates

' MOVE: Original is gone
MOVE "a/file.txt" TO "b/file.txt"
' Only exists at b/file.txt now

' COPY: Original remains
COPY "a/file.txt" TO "b/file.txt"
' Exists at both locations

Behavior Notes

Atomic operation: Move completes fully or not at all
Creates directories: Parent folders created automatically
Overwrites by default: Destination replaced if exists
Cross-folder: Can move between any directories in storage

Configuration

No specific configuration required. Uses bot's standard drive settings from config.csv:

name,value
drive-provider,seaweedfs
drive-url,http://localhost:8333
drive-bucket,my-bot

COPY — Duplicate files
DELETE FILE — Remove files
READ — Read file contents
WRITE — Write file contents
LIST — List directory contents
UPLOAD — Upload files to storage

Summary

MOVE relocates or renames files within storage. The original file is removed after the move. Use it to organize files, rename documents, archive processed data, and manage user uploads. Destination directories are created automatically.
