GetTempFileName (temp file path)

ts
function GetTempFileName(): string;

Generates and returns a unique temporary file path in the OS's default temporary directory. The file is not created; only the path is returned. It is the script's responsibility to create, use, and clean up the file.

Return valueExplanation
stringA unique temporary file path, e.g. /tmp/syncjs-a1b2c3d4

TIP

Always delete the temporary file after use to avoid leaving stale files in the temp directory.

Example

ts
var tmp = GetTempFileName();
WriteTextToFile(tmp, 'temporary content');
// ... process the file ...
DelFile(tmp);
