In fact, to state it again - more clearly this time. I'm sorry for the
earlier muddle.
I want to be able to do something like the following:
Var
FileName, FileOne, FileTwo : TextFile;
File : String;
begin
if cond1 then
begin
FileName := FileOne;
File := 'FileOne.txt';
end
else
begin
FileName := FileTwo;
File := 'FileTwo.txt';
end;
AssignFile(FileName, File);
Rewrite(FileName);
Write(FileName, 'Data', 'MoreData');
end;
But I can't go
FileName := FileOne;
I get this error message "Operator not applicable to this operand type"
That's the problem. I'm sure it's very basic - I've just never had to do it
before and can't think where else to look in the Help files.

Mark, perhaps I'm missing something here, but can't you just do this ...
Var
FileName: TextFile;
File : String;
begin
if cond1 then
File := 'FileOne.txt'
else
File := 'FileTwo.txt';
AssignFile(FileName, File);
Rewrite(FileName);
Write(FileName, 'Data', 'MoreData');
end;
