FileTempName Operator

Use the FileTempName to create a temporary file name, which may e.g. be used for the FileWriteText Operator.

What	Type
Syntax	FileTempName(forWhat)
forWhat	string
Return type	string

For every different value of forWhat which is passed to the FileTempName operator, a temporary file name will be created; for every source record, a new temporary name will be created; if the same forWhat value is used in multiple calls to FileTempName for a single record, the same temporary name will be returned.

Example:

<Fields>
  <Field name="FileName">FileTempName("text")</FieldName>
  <Field name="FullFileName">FileWriteText("..\output\temp\" + FileTempName("text"), $TextBody)</Field>
  ...
</Fields>

This code will output the same file name into two fields, one with the full path, one without the path. Additionally, it will write the content of $TextBody into that file, as text.
