Append file name on download

[cpm23]

I am using a script I found in this forum to back up Option 11c PBXs (thanks smford). I have to back up multiple sites. The script gets the file name from filenm = $date. I would like to append that with the site name. I'm not too familiar with wrinting scripts. Can anyone help? Thanks

If you have the site name in another string variable, you could use the strcat command to concatenate that variable (containing the site name) to the end of the filenm variable.

Thanks, Knob. I can't seem to get it to work. It gets it's name from the Filenm = $date. line. If I change that to $dilconnect, it puts in the sit name from the Connection Directory. I'd like to have both, if possible. Below is the beginning of the script:


integer Position = 1
string szPath = "C:\Opt11cbackup" ; Path to file.
string filenm = $NULLSTR
filenm = $date ;sets the name from Control Panel
while (Position != 0)
strfind filenm "/" Position ;searches for / (illegal character)
if failure ;tests for a failure
Position = 0 ;sets condition to False
else ;successful search
strdelete filenm Position 1 ;removes illegal character
endif
endwhile
while (Position != 0)
strfind filenm "-" Position ;searches for -(illegal character)
if failure ;tests for a failure
Position = 0 ;sets condition to False
else
strdelete filenm Position 1 ;removes illegal character
endif
endwhile
addfilename szPath filenm ; Adds the file name to path.

After this line:

filenm = $date

add this line:

strcar filenm $DIALCONNECT

Actually, make sure you do that after the connection has been made so that $DIALCONNECT has a value in it. Otherwise it will be a null string.

Thanks again, but it doesn't work. Like I said I don't know much so pardon my ignorance. Here's the error I get:

Error C024 Line 7: Invalid command or expression token: STRCAR

Oops, typo in my last post, use strcat instead of strcar.

Knob, thanks for your time. I still couldn't get it to work, so I just changed filenm to $dialconnect and I'll use the date stamp on the file so I'll know when it was downloaded. Thanks again.
