Iterative file names for sequential refinements

ljp

Is there a way to iteratively make file names or string names for sequential refinements.

I would like it to make dynamically name the phase_name and for some of the output macros eg. (Create_hklm_d_Th2_Ip_file)

Something like:

macro filename_hkl
{
Concat(string(iden(Run_Number)),"_hkl.txt");
}

Create_hklm_d_Th2_Ip_file(filename_hkl)

which should produce:
100001_hkl.txt

Is it possible to script this process in an inp file - I've tried a few things but cant seem to get it to work?

Have you looked at:

I do this in my sequential refinement macros. Also available in the user macro section.

Thank you Matthew and John for the suggestions - I didnt find the page on "concatenate_strings_in_input_file" during my search for an answer so thanks.

In case anyone else is interested in this in the future - these are the macros I ended up writing:

' List of data files for seq refinement
#list File_Name Temperature identifier{
xye\1041576-mac-001.xye 80   1041576 
xye\1041577-mac-001.xye 90   1041577
...
}

macro ident { identifier(Run_Number) } 
macro file_stem{hkls_}
macro temp_hold{Temperature(Run_Number)}
macro file_temp(temp_hold){_##temp_hold}
macro temp{file_temp(temp_hold)}
macro suffix{.txt}
macro file_dets(file_stem,ident, temp, suffix){file_stem##ident##temp##suffix}
macro file{file_dets(file_stem,ident, temp, suffix)}

Which then went into sequential pawley refinement and this output macro:

Create_hklm_d_Th2_Ip_file(file)

and results in files with the names:
hkls_1041576_80.txt
hkls_1041577_90.txt
