Writing Data to a File

 Hello Everyone,

 

How can I have my data be written to the same file for a week and then automatically start writing to a new file for the following week? How can I make it write to the same file for sometime and then automatically make it write to another file for another period of time.

 

Thank you in advance,

Corina

I do a simillar thing all teh time but for new files every day.

 

Use the Format Date/Time String function to keep track of the week number (in my case I look at the date) and change the file when the week nimber changes.

 

I have attached a screen capture of a code snippet so you can see what I mean.

Hi Corina,

you can use a function to calculate the week number from the current date. Use the calcualted number in your path and you automatically get a new path for a new week. With this you don't need to remembe/check the last used path.
