Name of the data file from a user prompt and a constant

[aks2601]

I have following situation:

 The event is single shot, each shot the two DAC card acquires 8 channel data (total 16 channels) and the user has to decide if we want to save the data in a file.

Once we decide that we want to save the data, the program should prompt for a file name. The inpu will be some dgit corresponding to an event number let us say xxxxx.

The program should create a file name 133Axxxxx.dat (or any other extension). 133A and 133B will be my two devices dev1 and dev2 respectively.

Can some one please help, how do we do this? The data from each card should go in a different file. The file name should be 133Axxxxx.dat and 133Bxxxxx.dat (let us say)

I think this is what you want.  If not it should be close enough so you can modify easily.
