hi,

I want to use the movefile function to rename a file. I can do this no problem but when I try to save the graph as an lxa it fails with:

error.jpg

there is a previous posting about this here:
http://community.lavastorm.com/threa...t=error+saving

the solution here was changing the parameter type to long.

In my case the parameters are string values. I tried changing to type str with no effect.

my code is :

moveFile( {{^filerename^}} + ".csv" , {{^filerename^}} + "_"+ prepareDate + ".csv" )

I tried:
moveFile( str({{^filerename^}}) + ".csv" , str({{^filerename^}}) + "_"+ prepareDate + ".csv" )

but it still failed to save as an lxa.

any ideas please?

thanks

douglas

Parameters are always processed as strings. There is however, an oddity in the parser that gets confused.
Simply put your parameters within quotes:

moveFile( "{{^filerename^}}" + ".csv" , "{{^filerename^}}" + "_"+ prepareDate + ".csv" )
