I'm trying to save a file under a randomly generated name using the Datastore 2 object for TGF. (I have already generated a string using a random text file I had wandering around off-screen called "Saving......") I want to save the file as: appdrive$ + appdir$ + "maps\string$( "Saving......" ).map" However, it believes I'm trying to name it: appdrive$ + appdir$ + "maps\string$( " and the: Saving......").map" is just nonsense to it, and causes a syntax error. If I don't put quotations around "Saving......" you can probably guess what happens, it believes I want to name the file: appdrive$ + appdir$ + "maps\string$( Saving...... ).map" which is obviously not what I want. Does anyone know a way around this problem that doesn't involve upgrading? n/a
