I need to change the name of the file to a unique name like yymmddmm
and move it to another directory. The following is the part of the
script as it currently stands. It simply moves the file to another
directory but does not change the name.
and move it to another directory. The following is the part of the
script as it currently stands. It simply moves the file to another
directory but does not change the name.
szMsg = OutDone
strcat szMsg $filename
rename $filespec szMsg
Outdone is a pathname like c:\printed\done\
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The copyfile command is what you want to use to actually move the
file. You could even use that command to eliminate the need for the
rename command.
