Change Target Application Name depended on DIRECTIVE setting.

[amit 3]

Hi,

I created project name A.   When I compile project I will get name A.exe.     I need to define some directive in source code and it will change the output  application name when it was compiled.   if it's possible to do that and how?

for example

Program A;
{$DEFINE B}
...
begin
..
end.

if I code it like this.   I need to have B.exe or AB.exe instead of A.exe when it was compiled.

No.

There's only rename being run by post-build event and libsuffix

you can try this way:

1. create a bat file with your logic  ( you'll need define a enviroment var with your new-name, for example...)
2. using the Post-Build event you can call it

rem --- OldName = full path + filename = c:\...\MyOldName.exe
set OldName=%1

rem --- NewName =  new file name       =  MyNewName.txt
set NewName=MyNewName.exe

rem ---------- renaming file -----------
ren  %OldName%  %NewName%  > texto.txt
