GenerateFileName()

This is an inbuilt function function provided by PPWIZARD.

This function returns a filename which is translated in the same way as the "/Output" switch. It also ensures that any directory component of the generated filename exists.

The parameters are as follows:

1. Name of a file
   This is the name of a file that is used as a basic for conversion using the second parameter.

2. A "Generate Mask"
   A Generate Mask tells PPWIZARD how to convert the first parameter into a new filename.

The generated filename is processed via FileSlashReduction() (without the second parameter), see the /FILESR for configuration options. Note that extra slash are caused by user error and this feature is used to make PPWIZARD recover from simple errors.

Example

;--- For the current input file work out a good name for a debug file ---
#evaluate '' ^DebugFile = GenerateFileName('<?InputFile>', 'out\*.DBG')^
