FileCreateTemp ( prefix )
(s) prefix specifies a prefix for the file name, up to 3 characters long (the string may be longer than that, but only the first 3 characters are used).
(s) full path name full path name of the temporary file created.
This function creates a 0-byte file with a unique name, in the directory designated for temporary files (as specified by the "TMP" or "TEMP" environment variable).
The temporary file name will have the form:
preXXXX.tmp
Where "pre" is the prefix specified by the user, and "XXXX" is a 4-character hexadecimal string generated to guarantee a unique file name. The file name will have an extension of ".tmp".
Note: This file will not be automatically deleted by the system. See the function FileDelete to delete this file.
tempfile = FileCreateTemp("TMP") filehandle = FileOpen(tempfile,"WRITE") FileWrite(filehandle,"Temporary stuff") FileClose(filehandle) Message(tempfile,"Temp file created") FileDelete(tempfile) Message(tempfile,"Temp file deleted") Exit
