allocating different file name, filename already exist

[khandan]

In this script I ask the script to assgin filenames based on varaible predefined perfix ("map_") what if the defined file name already exists in that folder?in this case how i can ask the script to save file with a name loke "map_1_1" or something simillar instead of "map_1" that already exists?should I use If then Function?

Here is the script:

#include <file.au3>

#include <array.au3>

Global $CSV_Array

_FileReadToArray("C:\Users\naroueia\Desktop\climexdata.csv", $CSV_Array)

;The script will change greatly if you want to modify more than one parameter at the time

;you will need to click somewhere and modify that parameter, then click elsewhere ... so on

For $i = 1 To $CSV_Array[0]

_GetMyResults($CSV_Array[$i],$i)

Next

Func _GetMyResults($parameter,$index)

Run("C:\Program Files\CSIRO Entomology\Dymex\DxSim3.exe") ; runs the software

MouseClick("left", 830, 400, 1); clicks on welcoming window

Send("{ESC}") ; closes welcoming window

WinWait('CLIMEX - Compare Locations (1 species)', ''); activates the main window

Sleep(1000)

Sleep(35000) ;waits 27seconds for model to run; awaits for model to run fully

Simple application of FileExists() and a loop, see if you can learn from this example

$i = 0
$sFilename = "test.txt"
While FileExists($sFilename)
    $i += 1
    $sFilename = "test(" & $i & ").txt"
WEnd
FileWriteLine($sFilename, "This is a line in " & $sFilename)

it dosen't, actually when it finds that the file name already exist it the message comes up that"do u want to replace it" ,does this While application checks that there is a simillar filename in the directory?Abviously it doesn't coz if it does it do not type the pre-existing file name.

The example I posted checks for the existence of "test.txt", if that exists, it generates new names "test(1).txt", "test(2).txt" etc until it finds a file-name that doesn't exist, then it creates that file and writes a line of text to it.

You may have wrongly applied the FileExists() function, hence your troubles, post a runnable snippet of your code showing where you attempted to use the FileExists() function.
