Generate sequential filenames automatically?

Post by uards »

I receive text files that contain many entries. I have created a macro to take each of these individual pieces and place them into individual files. Now I want to save these 100's of files (Document2*, Document3*, etc.) and was wondering if there was a way to accomplish this "automatically"

Ick. To my limited knowledge, there is no existing functionality in TP to do this. You might be better off writing a script to handle all of that work in the first place. Perl or Python would service nicely, I suspect.
