Re: [Talk] "Dynamic" filenames - Suggestions?

I am always partial to comma delimited files with a .txt extension. No
quotes, please.

Greetings,
Hope this message finds all doing well. A quick question for the group…

We’re working on a new <Top Secret> J product feature and need some
feedback regarding file naming conventions.

I know many of you have scripts that cause a system to run and then
download some sort of report. Typically part of the script is to name the
report file. Some scripts I’ve seen use a static name, others the name is
generated by the script and is therefore different each time the script
runs.

For those of you generating file names “on the fly” in your script – what
sort of naming conventions are you using – or would like to use?
Using the system date somehow? Using something else?

And what file formats / extensions are you using?

Any feedback you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Thom
