Naming file

 [1/2] from: john::thousand-hills::net at: 6-Aug-2001 22:31


How do I name a file using a variable? If I wanted to name a file with a variable extracted from a GCI value, how would I do that? I know how to extract the value into the variable, but not how to name the file with that variable instead of this: write %output.html reduce /john
