 |
|
Hi,
I can some one show me how to make a little script that will take any file, open the data up in a list (not visable) and then write all the data back to the file but with a different name?
thank you, i tried with binfile but it corrupts. |

This will open an ASCII-based file and save it. But it you are not going to
process it or anything you might as well just use FILE COPY,file1,file2 
| Code: | %%file = C:\test.dat
%%output = C:\test2.dat
list create, 1
list loadtext, 1, %%file
list savefile, 1, %%output
list close, 1 |

Well the code I gave should open all types of files except binary-type
files.
Otherwise you would need to use BINFILE and I am still figuring that out.

| For binary files you can use the binfile command... |

Hi:
Just a thought... Why not use the FILE RENAME command.

I think DW wants to open the file and do some processing and then save
the file to a different name.
