automatic file generation using system date and time

[VeeJay]

Hi guys,

Iam trying to generate a path for file creation automatically using System date and time. I am running into errors with respect to special characters in filename. I am trying to parse the string to get date and time without the '/' and ':' but have not been successful. is there a better way to do it? Please help! I am trying to avoid a dialog box for user to enter a filename.

Thanks!

here is a little experiment .... building the path out of %m (month) %d (day) %(year) type stuff might help.

Thanks Hummer! I just tried different ways and now figured it out. Turns out, The second method in your method is what I have done. Using String to path conversion and sending that to filename.

Glad it worked.  You can concatenate strings to make up the path too...just convert them to a path when you're done and it should work fine...

Good luck
