if File exist then File2 and so on

[berto]

Hy. i have a little app that creats a file named file.abc on destop, now i want to implement some new features and i want the app to check is file.abc already exist, if yes then create file2.abc, and if file2.abc also exists the create file3.abc and so on.

Can u help me?

Something like:

$Filename = "file.abc"
$count = 0
While FileExists($Filename)
        $count += 1
        $Filename = "file" & $count & ".abc" 
WEnd
ConsoleWrite('$Filename = ' & $Filename & @crlf )

Im stuck, here that part of code that i have problems with

;; Save bitmap to file
#include <A3LClipboard.au3>
#include <A3LScreenCap.au3>
$check = _Clip_IsFormatAvailable($CF_BITMAP)
If $check = true Then
    $ps = _Clip_GetData($CF_BITMAP)
    _ScreenCap_SetJPGQuality(100)
    _ScreenCap_SaveImage(@DesktopDir &"\Image.jpg", $ps)
EndIf
If $check = false Then
    MsgBox (0, "Info", "Nu ai nici un screenshoot in clipboard")
    Exit
EndIf

$Filename = "Image.jpg"
$count = 0
While FileExists($Filename)
        $count += 1
        $Filename = "Image" & $count & ".jpg"
WEnd
ConsoleWrite('$Filename = ' & $Filename & @crlf )

By your code, you're wanting us to spoon feed you. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Jos and cdkid gave you everything you require with his example. Use your brain and modify it to your specific needs.

It doesnt work man, it keeps replacing image.jpg, it doesnt matter i will do it myself.

Its important to try to understand the stuff

Here is where the filecheck could be implemented (Untested):

;; Save bitmap to file
#include <A3LClipboard.au3>
#include <A3LScreenCap.au3>
$check = _Clip_IsFormatAvailable ($CF_BITMAP)
If $check = True Then
    $Filename = @DesktopDir & "\Image.jpg"
    $count = 0
    While FileExists($Filename)
        $count += 1
        $Filename = @DesktopDir & "\Image" & $count & ".jpg"
    WEnd
    $ps = _Clip_GetData ($CF_BITMAP)
    _ScreenCap_SetJPGQuality (100)
    _ScreenCap_SaveImage ($Filename, $ps)
EndIf
If $check = False Then
    MsgBox(0, "Info", "Nu ai nici un screenshoot in clipboard")
    Exit
EndIf
