File creation question

[Chris747]

G'Day !
Question in regards to writing a file.... I'm trying to create a file with a name based on today's date and hour.
ie. 10/21/11/05.report

this works if i wish to create a file by symbol
fm = new File(getSymbol()+".report");

but this doesn't if i sub in a variable for some reason...

ReportDate = this.hour + "/" + this.day + "/" + this.month + "/" + this.year;

debugPrintln("Date is "+ReportDate); //returns what i want
fm = new File(ReportDate+".report");

any ideas ?

can't use a slash in a filename. try a dash.
