how to append a data to the existing csv file that changes its name every time?

Hi,

 

I have a job that loops through and produces a csv file after every 5000 records. The csv file gets its name by the current timestamp("Talend/workspace/stock_"+TalendDate.formatDate("yyyyMMdd_hhmmss",TalendDate.getCurrentDate()) +".csv"). I need to append the data to the same file after every 5000 records until the record limit has reached. 

But, the issue is that it creates a new csv file every time because of the its name which uses current time stamp as its name. If I don't use the current time stamp as a csv file name then it does append the data to the same csv. But its not enogh in my case.

 

Any solutions?

 

Thanks

Good news! By the way, you can use
TalendDate.getDate("yyyyMMdd_hhmmss")
To get the current date in a given format.
