Create folder with timestamp
Dear all,
I'm using FileWriter to create a file. I want to create a folder in the outputPath with the timestamp and write the file to this location.
I'm not sure how to go about this.
Thanks

String outputFilename = "result";
String outputPath = "output/";
Writer writer = new FileWriter(outputPath + outputFilename + i + ".csv", true);

There are actually more important considerations than readability: for instance, why would you want a folder with a timestamp as its name?
Are you putting more than one file into it? If so, then you're likely to need a coarser granularity than a timestamp with milliseconds or possibly even seconds (maybe even coarser)

The purpose of the folder is to store the date/time of the model run, I will need to record time down to seconds.

This would probably be more useful then a new directory with the millisecond in it. That is not very human readable for the future.
Hope that helps.
