wats wrong w/ name?

Sorry, you logged out of AIM b4 I could think to tell you this:

You are using:

NAME FileName.txt, NewFileName

And not:

NAME FileName.txt AS NewFileName

Correct? I dunno if they totaly took AS out, but the Wiki says it uses ,'s now....

:roll: :wink:

The problem I have with NAME is the name. It should be RENAME, since that's what it does. I've just been optioning it out for so long I forgot existed.

Code:

SUB RENAME (FILE1 AS STRING, FILE2 AS STRING)
    NAME FILE1, FILE2
END SUB

SUB RENAME (FILE1 AS STRING, FILE2 AS STRING)

Code:

#define RENAME(a,b) NAME a, b

You guys keep forgetting Ratt's advice above about the AS.

Nope.. In QB you had to use AS, in FB there's no AS

Rattrap just has some english grammar problems, so his post is a bit hard to understand

:lol: And the sad part is, I'm native english.... XD

Perhapse braking up the post was a bad idea, New version:

If you are using: Name "Filename.txt" AS "NewFilename.txt" : then that's incorrect,. Acording to FBWiki it needs to be: Name "Filename.txt", "NewFilename.txt" :.. :wink:

Better?

EDIT: Aye, I missed his code... nm

After all the ammunition that you've been given,
were you finally able to put together something that worked?
