Subject: finding file in program with created filename
I want to open a file using a filename that I create. When I run this
statement iget a value of -1 .
If I run the statement
Handler =
open("C:\\Downloads\\abgte2\\DATA\\SCR001.txt","r")
I get the file opened.
If I run the statement
Handler =
open("C:\\Downloads\\abgte2\\DATA\\filename"&".txt","r")
I get the file not found, -1.
I create the filename with this code
numfiles = numfiles + 1
anum = sprintf("%d", numfiles)
if numfiles < 10 then
filename = "SCR00" & numfiles
end if
I tried object filename,
and sequence filename.
When I compare the values of what the Dir command finds against what I
have created, the values are the same
Thanks for any advice
