Automating Export File Names

[Matt Klein]

Hi all! I am a new member of the FM Forum. I am wondering if anyone out there knows a way to name an export file using a field value. What I am trying to do is keep a directory of exports where the filenames are customized base on the date and/or time the export takes place. I can't find any way to export data to a comma or tab delimited file in a script where the export filename is different everytime the script is run without requiring the user to manually enter the filename.

Any help would be appreciated. I am willing to deal with Plug-ins as well.

You could rename the file after the export through the use of the Troi file plugin or if you're on Windows, WinBatch can do all sorts of file manipulation
