Filename Comparison

[bprice]

Been a long time since I have been in here! Hello to everyone!

Quick question... I think I am brain dead this morning... possibly because it's Friday and a long weekend is ahead of me!

I need to compare a filename at close to see if it's the same filename as when I opened the drawing... whats the easiest/best way to do this?

In addition, this needs to happen regardless of how many files might be open, or have been opened and closed.

Basically, what I am trying to do is if the filename is the same, a script will execute when I close... however if the filename is different (I've done a save-as) the script will not execute...

Thoughts?

Any and all info is greatly appreciated!

It is so good to see you again. Welcome back!

Here is my first stab at this. Basically, when the file is opened I save the Doc.Title (example.cdr) to the document.properties. Then when the file is closed, I check to see if the current title matches what it was when the document was opened. This should work no matter how many files are opened and closed. :-)

In your GMS file place the following code in the "ThisMacroStorage" section.

Private Sub GlobalMacroStorage_DocumentOpen(ByVal Doc As Document, ByVal FileName As String)
    Doc.Properties("CheckDocumentName", 1) = Doc.Title
End Sub

Private Sub GlobalMacroStorage_QueryDocumentClose(ByVal Doc As Document, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Doc.Properties.Exists("CheckDocumentName", 1) Then
        If Doc.Properties("CheckDocumentName", 1) = Doc.Title Then
            MsgBox "I am the same"
            'Do Something
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Again, this currently checks the title, if you want to see if the file is being saved to a new location you could use filename. :-)

Thank you sir! It's been awhile since I have been around. We have been insanely busy here at work, and I haven't had a chance to create any little scripts in awhile! I'm a little rusty, and I actually missed it!

What you gave me works perfectly! It's exactly what I needed! As always, much appreciated!
