creating temp files??


  • Subject: creating temp files??
  • From: "Chris Kacerguis" <email@hidden>

Hello All,

I'm a UNIX programmer (C++, Perl, PHP, etc) for a living, however I have
never used, seen, or written an AppleScript program...script...whatever.

So I decided to write a script, and for the most part I have figured out
how things work. However, I am writting a program that takes a variable
reads it into a temp file, then I need to know the file name and location,
then send that file name to a:

do shell script ("command <" & filename)

So my question is:

How do I make a temp file (just needs to be plain old text)

the file is in a loop, so the file would either need to be deleted, or
over written each loop iteration.

Can someone PLEASE help!

Thanks,

Chris
