How to Change Old File plus Path to New Name and Path
Keywords: FileMapName
Question:
I need to move a file from one location to another, then open it. I have the dialog box, I can pick the file, I
move the file, but I can't open it then because I don't know the file name. I know the path I moved it to,
and I have a variable that has the old path/filename. What I need is just file filename without the path.
Answer:
Look at the FilePath() and FileRoot() functions in the WIL help file.
Or, even better:
newname=FileMapName(oldpathname,"%newpath%\*.*)
