Hi
My Rexx knownledge is poor, and I'm hanging on a script:
The Problem: I export a file from a graphic-program with everytime an other
filecontent but with everytime the same filename... Target is to
automatically renumber all the files because they should not be overwritten.
So I need a routine which checks if file(.x) exists and if so give the new
one a higher number. Ideal is when the first file has no extension but it's
not a must :)
file
file.1
file.2
and so on
Does anyone have a solution?
The first part to show what I mean is here (But it makes an endless loop :( ):
DO Nr=1 to 99
IF (EXISTS('RAM:TEST') = 0)
THEN ADDRESS COMMAND 'makedir ram:test'
ELSE ADDRESS COMMAND 'makedir ram:test' || Nr + 1
EXIT
