K, I've spent the better half of a week trying to get thins and for some reason I keep coming up blank. Basicly I'm attempting to increment the screenshot bmp's.

I have the file exist and that works fine, but I can't save file with incrementing. IE hit print screen key and it saves as

{appdir}\screenshots\sshot001.bmp

then hit print screen key a second later and it *should* check if any sshot files exist and if so increment the 001 to 002.

any ideas?

thx

+ Code Snippet

last_key as integer
shot_no as integer
file_name as string
do
if scancode() = 31 and last_key <> scancode()
  `s key pressed
  repeat
    inc shot_no
    file_name = "shot"+shot_no_tostring(shot_no)+".bmp"
  until file exist(file_name) = 0 or shot_no > 999
  if image exist(1) then delete image 1
  get image 1,0,0,screen width(),screen height(),1
  save image file_name,1
endif
last_key = scancode()
cls
text 0,0,"Press s to save image"
text 0,15,"last saved image: "+file_name
loop

function shot_no_tostring(i as integer)
local s as string
s = ""
if i <10 then s = s + "0"
if i < 100 then s = s + "0"
s = s + str$(i)
endfunction s
