Creating file names.
Your easiest starting point is probably file = format(Sys.time()) and then look at the online help for the strptime function to learn about formatting options. For example format( Sys.time() , '%m%d%y' ) Use paste() and some formatting of Sys.time() to construct the form you are looking for. -Don

I have a function that is called from a "sourced" script, whenever certain conditions are met. I have this inside it: if(P > 0.9)save( file = today() , myLMSmodel ); This gives me files that look like this: Thu Jan 8 14:04:43 2009 That works fine on my Mac, but it would be much more convenient to have something like this: LMSMOD_Jan_08_09_1404 Does anyone know how I can do this? (You don't have to put in the underscores, if it's too much work.) Thanks, Gregg Allen
