Rick,

it is set at 2 now thats why you get path/name

Jim,

 

Using Wordpad I changed all 3 to '0'

0=filename

0=name

0=pathname

and saved it

 

I did it while mc was closed.

do I have to reboot or close MC again or something

to get it to work?

 

Thanks(going to bed, I work on it in the morning)

 

thanks

Rick

I think that is being output by the pheader section of the post.

 

code:

---

 pheader$         #Call before start of file                         

hour = int(time$)

min = int((time$ - hour)* 100)

if hour > 12, hour = hour - 12

if hour = 0, hour = 12

year$ = year$ + 2000

 

"%", e$

spaces$=0

*progno$, " ", scomm_str, sprogname$, scomm_end, e$

spathnc$ = ucase(spathnc$)

smcname$ = ucase(smcname$)

comment$ # File descriptor

spaces$=0

#scomm_str, "PROGRAM NAME - ", sprogname, scomm_end, e

#scomm_str, "DATE=DD-MM-YY - ", date, " TIME=HH:MM - ", time, scomm_end, e

#scomm_str, "MASTERCAM - V", *vers_no$, scomm_end, e$

scomm_str, "MASTERCAM - X", scomm_end, e$

scomm_str, "MCX FILE - ", smcpath$, smcname$, smcext$, scomm_end, e$ <<<<<<<<< Here

if spostname_sav = snull, spostname_sav = spostname

scomm_str, "POST - ", snamepst$, scomm_end, e$

#scomm_str, "MP - V", *dll_vers$, scomm_end, e$

stck_matl$ = ucase(stck_matl$)

scomm_str, "MATERIAL - ", stck_matl$, scomm_end, e$

scomm_str, "PROGRAM - ", sprogname$, sextnc$, scomm_end, e$

scomm_str, "DATE - ", *smonth, "-", *day$, "-", *year$, scomm_end, e$ # MON-DD-YYYY

#scomm_str, "DATE - ", *year$, "/", *month$, "/", *day$, scomm_end, e$ # YYYY/MN/DD

#scomm_str, "DATE - ", *day$, "/", *month$, "/", *year$, scomm_end, e$ # DD/MN/YYYY

#scomm_str, "DATE - ", date$, scomm_end, e$ # DD-MM-YR

scomm_str, "TIME - ", *hour, ":", *min, [if time$ < 12, " AM"], [if time$ >= 12, " PM"], scomm_end, e$ # 12 hour

#scomm_str, "TIME - ", time$, scomm_end, e$ # 24 hour

scomm_str, "POST DEV - ", *slicense, scomm_end, e$

I would ply with the variables on this line till I got what I needed.

3rd string

 

It would not load the new one that I edited

after 200 tries.

 

so I back up the original then took that whole

line out that you suggested and it worked

 

Thanks very much

Rick

Hey Rick, alot of times you don't necessarily have to remove the line, just rem it by putting a pound sign in front like 3rdString has:

 

#scomm_str, "PROGRAM NAME - ", sprogname, etc.etc.

 

That tells it not to read that line. If you look at the comment at the beginning of a post you'll see all the lines start with a pound sign.HTH
