Get systemdate into a filename

[Guy Danneels]

Hello,
(sorry for my bad English)
I'm learning to use AMS 6.0 for some time and want to thank all you great guys; I've learned a lot from you all. Thanks!!
But now I have a problem and I've not found any example on the Forum... looking for some days now...
I need to copy the user files to an other place, and put the systemdate into the filename.
My code:
dag = System.GetDate(5);
maand = System.GetDate(4);
jaar = System.GetDate(6);

datum = ("..dag.., ..maand.., ..jaar..");
newname = ("datum".."Filename.txt");

File.Copy ("C:\\PHAISTOS\\Filename.txt", "C:\\PHAISTOS\\BACKUP\\..newname");
But I can't get it done... what do I wrong?

What I would like to have as a result is:
C:\\PHAISTOS\\BACKUP\\28-04-2007_Filename.txt

Please can I get some help?

newname = (datum.."_Filename.txt");

Thanks Bule for quick responce... but it's not resulting in changing the filename "Filename.txt" into "07-08-2007_Filename.txt"
Could you help me out a bit more?
Thanks

datum = dag.."-"..maand.."-"..jaar

Hello Macko,

problem remains...
File.Copy "C:\\PHAISTOS\\Filename.txt", "C:\\PHAISTOS\\BACKUP\\..newname");
It results in "..newname" as a filename, instead of "07-08-2007_Filename.txt"

[macko]

change
File.Copy "C:\\PHAISTOS\\Filename.txt", "C:\\PHAISTOS\\BACKUP\\..newname");

to this
File.Copy "C:\\PHAISTOS\\Filename.txt", "C:\\PHAISTOS\\BACKUP\\"..newname);

never include a variable in the " " since it will be read as is and not as a variable.

And I have learned again.
