It can be done like this:

column ext noprint new_value ext
select to_char(sysdate,'HH24MI') ext
  from dual;

spool File.&ext
select ...
spool off

The output will be in a file 'File.xxxx' where xxxx is the formatted time.

Subject:        Reg. SPOOL in SQL*PLUS

Hi DBAs,

I would like to know the way for specifying a filename dynamically in
SQL PLUS.

Say, for example

The file name should be suffixed with a sequence number available from a
SEQUENCE object. ( like SPOOL <filename>||seq1.nextval).....

Any idea?

Thank You,
Arul.
