Use a variable in an export path

[Josh Reader]

Bruce,



That worked!  Thank you so much.  What is the proper way to reply to these
posts so they are grouped under one?  I only received one of these posts
(the one from Dan) in Outlook and when I replied to his email it seemed to
nest it under his original correspondence.  For the other ones I sent with
the same subject to filepro-list at lists.celestial.com



Thanks again,

Josh



Josh - after further testing, it seems filepro doesn't need extra quotes

around dir names that have spaces (and errors out when they are

supplied).  Internally, filepro might see that part of a path needs

extra quoting for exports and supplies them (internally).  So,

regardless of whether your dir names have spaces or not,  on both unix

and centos filepro 5.0.14, my tests show that the following works:



fn="/appl/user_exports/users/"{nm{"/filepro/export.txt"



But watch out for:



1. nm should be declared

2. check perms on dirs that filepro need to write to
