To create a file named the current date/time:

Date date = new Date() ;
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss") ;
File file = new File(dateFormat.format(date) + ".tsv") ;
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
out.write("Writing to file");
out.close();
