D'oh! I should have known better! Thank you!

I have a function set up & I would like to dynamically pass it a variable. In this case it is the location of a file. If I use the quotation marks as seen below, I get a file that is named %A_DD ...

I normally read the documentation, but didn't think to do so here. I could do without the attitude, but I appreciate the help. Thanks, it's exactly what I needed.

I've written several functions, which I reuse. Is it possible to make it so that the parameters I pass are optional? If they are not passed, it could revert to a default value. For example, in one ...

Firstly, thanks [VxE] for making and maintaining this script.
