Sequential filenaming with the file object

[toast0r]

I'm trying to find a way to test for the number of the last file recorded, add 1, then save a new file.

I'm sure there must be a way to make the file object do it but I can't quite work out the syntax. Any thoughts?

Thanks guys.

If you look at Help, Contents, Objects, Inventory, Special Object, Expressions - you'll find lots of useful functions for getting the first or last n characters from a string, and for converting these from string to numeric. [smile]

Thanks Sarah.

I've ended up with
1)Each time the file is created, a counter has 1 added to it
2)c:\folder\filename.jpg exists
+ run once when loops
THEN rename "c:\folder\filename.jpg" as "c:\folder\filename"+Str$(value( "Filename sequential counter" ))+".jpg"

It works, its a bit clunky though, so I'm going to try your advice next!

Thanks
