I have gotten such great help from the readers of this forum lately, I thought I would try for another. I use a commercial program that produces an ASCII dat a file after running. I would like to automatically save this file under a sam ple name and start the program again, from which another file OVERWRITES the fi rst. By saving under the sample name, the overwriting of the first file does n o harm. Then, the second file would be saved as, perhaps as FILE2. So at the end of the analyses, I would have a series of files, from FILE1, FILE2, FILE3.. ..., each produced from a recursive run of the data collection program. Any he lp would be greatly appreciated. (Either GWBasic or Quickbasic). THANKS! Larry
