I am using code to run a batch file that puts a file into a specific directory. As so as the file gets to this directory I want to rename the file. I don,t know want the original file name will be because the app that creates it uses a random naming process which I can't change. So When my code runs it first cleans out the directory, runs the batch which places one file into the directory. Now I can do ADIR(myArray) and find the name of the only file then us remname to give the file a logical name. My trouble is the ADIR wants to exicute before the batch file has time to put the file into the directory. How can I pause the ADIR() code until it has an element?
