Hi, > I'm using Mathematica 6. > I'd like to know how to define a file name (to be later used in Export) so > that the file name contains the value of an index variable i. > To exemplify, in Fortran this task would be accomplished by something like: > > character(len) :: FileName > ... > write(FileName,'(A,I4.4)') 'MyName', i > > These lines would produce filenames which, for i=1,2,... are MyName0001, > MyName0002, ... > > Is there any neat way of doing the same with Mathematica? > StringJoin["MyName",ToString[i]] or short: "MyName"<>ToString[i] depending on how many indices you need, maybe something like this is more convenient: ToString[StringForm["MyName`1`-`2`-`3`-`4`",i,j,k,l]] hth, albert
