Create new text file everytime the game runs

Hey all,

I was wondering if there was a way to create a new .txt file every time the game runs? I am able to write the data I want to a .txt file but it always adds onto the same file when I play my game. What I am looking for is when ever I start the game it will create a new .txt file and save all that data for that instance only.

Here is my current code:

    void addItemsToLog()
    {
        File.AppendAllText("OutputLogs/outputLog.txt", "

" + "
" + "Player 1 Stats: ");
File.AppendAllText(“OutputLogs/outputLog.txt”, "
" + “Player 1 Money: $” + player1Money);

        foreach (string property in player1PropertyOwned)
        {
            File.AppendAllText("OutputLogs/outputLog.txt", "

" + "Player 1 owns: " + property);
//yield return null;
}

        File.AppendAllText("OutputLogs/outputLog.txt","

" + "
" + "Player 2 Stats: ");
File.AppendAllText(“OutputLogs/outputLog.txt”, "
" + “Player 2 Money: $” + player2Money);

        foreach (string property in player2PropertyOwned)
        {
            File.AppendAllText("OutputLogs/outputLog.txt", "

" + "Player 2 owns: " + property);
}
}

This will give me all the data in a file named “outputlog.txt” but what I am trying to do is when I run the game a second time it will save that to “outputlog(1).txt” for example.

Thanks in advance.

Write to some variable (string startTime) value from DateTime.Now (System namespace) when application is starting and after that you can save data to file "outputLog_"+startTime+".txt"
