hi,

I need some help in saving arrays.
when I select to save the current info, I need to save 3 arrays, I want to save all 3 with a user-chosen filename, but with the extensions, `.LOC , .SFT & .ITM`. how can I alter a user-chosn string ?
I tried..
SAVE ARRAY "C:\SAVEDATA\";FILE$;".LOC",LOC(0)
but just gives a syntax error, it seems I need to create the string completely before hand, so
SAVE ARRAY SAVEFILE$,LOC(0) would work ?

if so, how do I write the code to do this..
`savefile$=drive/path/filname.LOC,
where the drive, path and filename are user-chosen ?

TIA

Simon

simple... with strings you use the "+" operator
so SAVE ARRAY "C:\SAVEDATA\"+FILE$+".LOC",LOC(0)

however setting up strings before hand would make more sense - and allows for editing before hand.
And remember you can't write or save to something that is already there (db can't overwrite) so you'll have to check prior to doing so
