Question

I need help with this. How do I name the new files created with the current timestamp

Answer 1

You can use DateTime

import org.joda.time.DateTime

Option 1 : with yyyyMMddHHmmss

DateTime.now().toString("yyyyMMddHHmmss")

Will give 20190205214430

Option 2 : yyyy-dd-M--HH-mm-ss

   DateTime.now().toString("yyyy-dd-M--HH-mm-ss")

will give 2019-05-2--21-43-32
