File Name Script

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
My Question might sound weird.
Is it possible to have some sort of a script that forces me to specify text strings in a file name in order to have it saved.?
example:
Suppose i want to save a Word document file when i hit "Save As" I would like several windows to pop up asking me the following Questions ( or one windows wit all the questions)
project?
Subject?
When?
version?
To:
From:

Then add the above strings to the file name which then will look like:

Proj(x)-Subj(x)-(date)-V(x)-To(x)-Frm(x)

x= alphanumeric

thanks

What OS? Leopard? You maybe able to do this via applescript, or Automator.

Your question doesn't sound wierd. It is wierd!

The answer is no... or at least not in a shell script. If you can find a way to make your "Office Suite" software do that, then great :slight_smile: (there may be a macro somewhere)

If you get it to work, do two things: 1) tell us how; and 2) post it to the relevant group so they know too.
