naming a file

[agua00]

how do i write a script to name a file that I am downloading to my pc via procomm

What you need to do is grab the value of $XFERFILE while the download is underway, then you can rename that file to a different name. The code would look something like this:

getfile ZMODEM
iStatus = $XFERSTATUS
while iStatus == 1
yield
if nullstr sDownloadFile
sDownloadFile = $XFERFILE
endif
endwhile
if iStatus == 2
rename sDownloadFile sRenameFile
endif

where iStatus is an integer and sDownloadFile and sRenameFile are strings.

knob - is there some other setting I need to change because the ReceiveFile2.was script is not renaming the file downloaded via zmodem. I've updated the script to indicate the value of the sDownloadFile variable and it is always a blank.

proc main

   integer iStatus
   string sDownloadFile
getfile ZMODEM
iStatus = $XFERSTATUS
while iStatus == 1
   yield
   if nullstr sDownloadFile
      sDownloadFile = $XFERFILE
   endif
endwhile

usermsg sDownloadFile

endproc

Oops, looks like I left out a line when I pasted the script, add

iStatus = $XFERSTATUS

after the yield command and see how that works for you.
