I want to be able to create a temporary text File in Java to display on screen, but using File.createTempFile() does not give me enough control over its name.
Any thoughts here?
Why do you need such control over the name of a temporary file?
That question aside, no you can't have full control over the name of the file generated by createTempFile
. If you really need full control, you need to create a regular File
instead.
You may want to make use of the following:
java.io.tmpdir
System property for temporary file directorycreateNewFile()
to check for naming conflictsdeleteOnExit()
