Writing to text file using Path.Combine

[suprsnipes]

Hi,

I am using the following line of code to write to text file however the file that is being created has a different file name to the code, please see below.

private string    path                = Path.Combine(@"C:\quotes\", DateTime.Now.ToString("ddMMyy.ESF"));

The file that is created has the following name;
210113.ES9

How can I amend the code so the output file is 210113.ESF instead?

Regards,

suprsnipes, I would suggest to break it up like this -

path = Time[0].Date.ToString("ddMMyy") + ".ESF";
path1 = Path.Combine(@"C:\quotes\", path);

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I tried the suggested code I'm sure there is something I am missing but I am getting errors such as;

path  = Time[0].Date.ToString("ddMMyy") + ".ESF";
path1 = Path.Combine(@"C:\quotes\", path);

I also tried private string in front as well.

From what event/method are you calling the code?

If anyone is interested this is how I fixed this problem...

#region Variables

private string path1                 = @"C:\quotes\";
private string path2                 = DateTime.Now.ToString("ddMMyy") + ".ESF";    

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
then using as follows File.AppendAllText(Path.Combine(path1, path2), code here);
