str TM
TM.time("%m%d%Y%H%M")
ren "c:\d.txt" "c:\temp\variable d.txt"
I need to append the TM variable to the d.txt file name
Example:
d.txt now becomes mmddyyyyhhmmd.txt
Any suggestions?
Help file sucks for this.

function'str $filename [~folder] [$dateformat]
;Formats full path from 3 parts:
;folder, current date and filename.
;filename can be either full path or file name.
;If folder is not specified, extracts from
;filename or uses temp folder.
;dateformat can be specified, as with str.time.
;EXAMPLE
;str f="c:\d.txt"
;ren f FormatTempFileName(f "$temp$")
if(folder.len) folder.expandpath; if(!folder.end("\")) folder+"\"
else folder.getpath(filename); if(!folder.len) folder.expandpath("$temp$\")
if(!len(dateformat)) dateformat="%m%d%Y%H%M "
str TM.time(dateformat)
str s.from(folder TM _s.getfilename(filename 1))
ret s
In QM, create new function FormatTempFileName. Paste this code using menu Edit->Other formats->Paste escaped. Call this function from a macro (one example is given in code).
