Hi, as far as i can follow you, you want to: 1. copy a file from position a to position b. 2. read it from position b. 3. and delete it at position b.
Why not read it directly from position a? So what about: $content = implode("<br>", file($userfile)); Anyway: You should initialize $i in any way, best with zero -> $i=0; before the while loop. You check if 0.tab 1.tab 2.tab; if 2.tab exists, you create 3tab (A dot seems to be missing) $destfile .= '.tab'; instead of $destfile .= "tab"; Is this script executed on unix? That would clearify why it could not find C:\\My Documents\\lyrics\\C_DTBS\\SLIME.TXT :-) --Sascha Am Sonntag, 13.
