Questions & Answers

The code below is only creating one file and overwrite the data after each game is started. What i want to do is to create new file every time a new game is play. How can i go about doing it??

    using UnityEngine;
    using System.Collections;
    using System;
    using System.Text;
    using System.IO;
    
    public class Monitor : MonoBehaviour {
    	
    	String path;
    	String fileName;
    	String playerName;
    	int id =1;
    	// Use this for initialization
    	void Start () 
    	{
    		fileName = "/Monitoring.txt";
    		playerName = playerControl.playerName;
    		path = Application.dataPath + fileName;
    		print(gameControl.previousWord1);
    	}
    	
    	// Update is called once per frame
    	void Update () 
    	{
    		//string messageToAccess = gameControl.previousWord1;
    		
    		using(FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
    		//using(FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Append, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
    		{
    			AddText(fs, "PlayerName: " + playerName);
    			AddText(fs, "

================================");
AddText(fs, "
" + id);
for(int j = 0; j < gameControl.radical00Store.length; j++)
{
AddText(fs, " " + gameControl.radical00Store[j]);
AddText(fs, " " + gameControl.radical0Store[j]);
AddText(fs, " " + gameControl.wrongStore[j] + "
");
}
}
id++;

    		 //Open the stream and read it back.
            using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(path))
            {
                byte[] b = new byte[1024];
                UTF8Encoding temp = new UTF8Encoding(true);
                while (fs.Read(b,0,b.Length) > 0)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(temp.GetString(b));
                }
            }
    	}
    	
    	
    	private static void AddText(FileStream fs, string value)
        {
            byte[] info = new UTF8Encoding(true).GetBytes(value);
            fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length);
        }
    	
    }

@kleptomaniac has the right idea. The only correction i would make it to do it in one DateTime call and remove spaces from Datetime because some systems don’t handle spaces well. So the final code would be:

 void Start () { 
    fileName = "/Monitoring_" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yy_hh-mm-ss") + ".txt"; 
    playerName = playerControl.playerName; 
    path = Application.dataPath + fileName; 
}

Here is the script form of what @Adamcbrz is trying to tell you about (I think this is how you do it in C#):

string sysTime = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("hh mm ss");
string sysDate = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd MM yy");

When writing your file, append sysDate + sysTime to your filename at time of creation to make a unique file so it doesn’t overwrite previous files.

Hope that helps, Klep
