Are there any arguments other than personal preference for filename() vs file_name()? I was trying some code and kept writing filename(). Google code search turns up 5,980,00 hits for "filename" versus 550,000 for "file_name". So I think "filename" would win unless someone comes up with an argument otherwise. That should make you (Dave) happy as you've always spelled it "filename" in these discussions.
I guess one argument is that "root_name" then looks inconsistent. I'm not worried about that enough to do anything about it
Yeah, but filename is a word, whereas rootname is not :-) http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+filename http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+rootname Cheers, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
