StarTeam -- How do I move files programmatically?

Question

Any StarTeam users out there?

I'm using StarTeam 2009, which comes with some client tools, including a command line tool, stcmd.exe.

I'm reorganizing a somewhat large Java project containing thousands of .java files and resource files. I would like to know if there is a way using stcmd or some other scripting tool to move files from one folder in the StarTeam repository to another folder.

Of course I can use the StarTeam client interface to drag and drop files, but I'm hoping to avoid that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

stcmd gives you the ability to add, modify, and delete files and folders. It doesn't provide a mechanism for sharing or moving.

It may be possible to do some of the moves using VCMUtility, but that's not really what it was designed for and I would guess it would end up being more of a pain than doing it by hand.

The StarTeam SDK does provide all the tools necessary to do moving and sharing. It may be worthwhile to look into writing a small utility to do what you're looking for.
