Question

I am currently logging test execution results in to a textfile(An existing one.) How do I create a textfile with a timestamp and save it in a windows directory? The code I am using currently is

    File outputResultFile = new File(CompleteFileNameForNotepad);
    PrintWriter outputFile = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(outputResultFile));
    String str = "text to write in to the file";
    outputFile.println(str);
    outputFile.close();

Thanks for your help.

String fileName = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-ddTHH-mm-ss").format(new Date()) + ".txt";
File outputResultFile = new File(fileName);
...

Note: what you call a notepad is more commonly called a “file”.
