Increment file name

[marcus robinson]

I am a newbie to Cloverleaf and I would like to know how to increment the output file name?  Right now all files per route have the same file name that is just being overwritten and I would like each file to have it’s own name.

Marcus,

You will need to deploy Tcl.

There is an example Tcl proc in the $HCIROOT/contib directory called fileset_numfile_out.tcl.

Others have customized that script to meet their needs and maybe someone will offer to share with you.

Thanks Jim

I’m sure this isn’t perfect as it was written in crunch-time during a go-live, but it works for me.  It appends the current date to the file.

Be very careful when making unique file names from date and/or time. The granularity of time is in seconds.  Cloverleaf can process several records in one second. If you are doin a real-time interface you can overwrite files.

Sounds similar to the old numfile protocol that was taken out of Cloverleaf but can still be done with TCL.

Here is a post I made illustrating how I did one such integration:
