When using the following command I am getting blown out of WildFile when errors occur renaming the file. I had hoped the NOERR switch would allow the macro to continue even when errors are encountered.

Command: FRen(@1,@2,NOERR)

Errors that will halt Wildfire:
1. Invalid characters in filename
2. Unable to copy over read-only file


Also, I had hoped to use OK and NOERR together with the File_Rename function but this generates and Invalid Parameter error.


Any assistance or workarounds are appreciated.

Confirmed. NOERR seems to fail here.

I'm able to combine OK and NOERR without a "Parameter error". What version of VEDIT do you use?

Workaround for 2.:

File_Attrib(@2,1,RESET) just before the FRen()


Possible workaround for 1.:

#xx=Buf_Num // xx should be a free numerical register
Buf_Switch(Buf_Free(EXTRA))
Reg_Ins(@2) // the target filename
// check for invalid characters in filename
Search('|{\,/,:,*,?,",<,>,||}', BEGIN+NOERR)
Buf_Quit(OK)
Buf_Switch(#xx)
if (EM) { // if no invalid character found
File_Rename(...)
} else {
// do some error handling
}
