At times, you need to create temporary files to perform certain actions. The following code segment illustrates the same:
import java.io.*;
public class CreateTempFile
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
CreateTempFile createTempFile = new CreateTempFile();
createTempFile.proceed();
}
private void proceed()
{
try
{
File tempFile = File.createTempFile("FileNameStart",null);
//A new file with name FileNameStart.tmp will be created in the default Temp/tmp folder
System.out.println("Temp file created and location is " + tempFile.getCanonicalPath());
}catch(IOException ioe)
{
System.out.println("IOException: "+ioe);
}
}
}
