If you get a little more precise with what you want to do,

perhaps others can offer replies a little more pertainent to

your question! What you ask does not make sense, to me.

I want to make a function that renames a file, randomly,

and preserve the initial name, that is add something in the

initial name.

How can find what must add in the initial name?

NAME oldwithfullpath AS fullpath plus old name (minus the extension) plus

some random string plus the original extension



BUT, check first that the new name is not already in existence!



RandString=Format$(Hex$(RND *(Timer*100),"000000000000") this may

work nearly every time



or create a value based in a summation of the ascii letters of the original

name then randomize that value
