so is that the Purchase Order Number stored in the input file itself?

if yes, I suggest you do a file rename after your output file is being generated.

thanks Ryan,

how do i do that?
what's the generated file name currently looks like?

you probably can use a function like this to rename a file:
function renamefile(a, b)
    Dim Fso
    Set Fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Fso.MoveFile a, b
end function

Open in new window

currently it looks like

po.10004.pre (is the file i pick then script converts it in to the format in csv)

po.10004.datestamp.timestamp.csv
