I have this code: 

 File.open(“MIO.TA.1234567.#{Time.now.strftime(“%F”)}.{Time.now.strftime  
 (“%T”)}.xml”, “w”) { |file| file.write(xml) }

The only requirement is to be able to save to MIO.TA.1234567.20180309.090000.xml instead of having to have output.xml existing and me having to open to write.

What you're already doing is correct.

The file you name doesn't need to already exist, and the first argument of File.open will take the path to a file, so you can write anywhere you like.

See this question for reference.

  • I have just realized this, I have tried to now change the file naming convention like so: File.open(“MIO.TA.1234567.#{Time.now.strftime(“%F”)}. {Time.now.strftime(“%T”)}.xml”, “w”) { |file| file.write(xml) } This produces an error: syntax error unexpected , – GLH Mar 09 '18 at 12:17
  • It's possibly because of the missing # character for your second `Time` call, which means your quotes are messing up the overall string. – jon1467 Mar 09 '18 at 12:23
