I/O

[Kevin Robinson]

Is there any way of opening a file for input altering its contents and then
saving it with the same name
but with a date attached eg myfile_23-03-2005 , myfile_24-03-2005 e.t.c.

I have tried appending Date to the end of the filename when saving but that
doesn't work.


Thanks

Kevin

Re: I/O

Probably the easiest way would be something like:


Open strFile_1 for input as 1
Open strFile_2 for output as 2

Do until EOF(1)
'manipulate contents here if needed
'write contents to strFile_2
loop
Close

Hope this helps.
