I have written a small special purpose text editor that I use to prepare draft copies of text documents in the law office where I work after school. It works great, but I need to add a feature to it, if possible.

A legal document may have a newly edited draft each day for several days. I am required to save these progressive drafts by the same name with a progressing number. i.e. Excell01, Excell02, Excell03, etc.

My question: Can someone please give me a sample code that I can include in my text editor that will allow me, when saving a file, to type only the file name (without the number) and have the program look up and add the next available number to the end of the name. It's often difficult and time consuming to find the next available number.

Please help if you can!

Thanks!

Wendy
