in reply to File Saving

Your original post didn't mention anything about trying to write a crash recovery script but your last reply implies it. Instead of telling us one of the steps that you are trying to accomplish and filling some of the details as you go, why don't you just explain the thing in full.

    Sorry, I apologize for my vagueness, but as I'm stuck having to write this script for work :( I'm not always allowed to divulge all the information I would like to.

    But to answer your question, it is a crash recovery script that acts on a set of known, open files and saves them at the event of a crash or application lockup.

    I was hoping that there was a relatively painless way of doing that but now I'm not so sure.
