CreateTempFile()
Creates a file with a unique name in the temporary work folder and returns a file object. This file stores data temporarily in memory or in a buffer. It is used to prevent multiple input/output access to a physical file when writing. In the end, the contents is transferred into a physical file for which only a single input/output access will occur.
Examples
In the following script, a file is read in a temporary file: try{
// Create a temporary file
var tmpFile = createTmpFile();
// Open a writer on the temporary file
var writer = openTextWriter(tmpFile.getPath());
try{
var line = null; // Current line
// read line by line and readLine will return null at the
end of the file.
while( (line = reader.readLine()) != null ){
// Edit the line
line = line.toUpperCase();
// Write the result in the temporary file
writer.write(line);
// add a new line
writer.newLine();
}
}
finally{
// Close the writer or the temporary file
writer.close();
}
}
finally{
// Close the reader
reader.close();
}
