I am not sure I understand.
Is this what you want?

filename = "pnm://" & hostname & "/directoryname/Activities/hypotenuse.rm"

It seems too easy to me...

Hi folks,

I'm writing an install app with VB that will place around 5000 pnm files
onto a server.  The problem I am running into is that at design time I have
no idea what the server names will be on which the files will be placed.  So
I have a pnm file that has this:
pnm://servername/directoryname/Activities/hypotenuse.rm

The install screen prompts the user to specify the server name, so capturing
the name is easy.  How can I easily convert these 5000 pnm files to change
the above to:
pnm://GREGSSERVER/directoryname/Activities/hypotenuse.rm

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you and much obliged,

Greg
