Incrementing File Name

[garryg]

Hi,

First Thread!  I've been a long user of MMM, its helped me out heaps.  I have a question on using INTEGER variables to increment file names.

I have a macro that I have scheduled to run periodically.  The macro takes some data based on some conditions from my table and writes them to a file.  I would like to add the ability to increment the file name by 1 on each write

Can I do this will Mini Mouse Macro?

Hi Garry,

This can be done by incrementing the %INTEGER% variable by one and adding that variable to your output condition statement. You would need to enable variable saves from the Settings-Variable menu.

Something like this:

1 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
2 | RUN ACTION |  |  |  | RUN VIA CMD /C | echo %STRING% > %INTEGER%.CSV

Hope this helps,
Steve.
