Ok, one more probably stupid question but how would I get the current time and use that to create a new file with the timestamp as the name of the file?

There is a time() function declared in a header file <time.h>. Check your compiler manual for further instructions concerning its value. And please ask all of your questions in one thread named like "My beginner questions".

I was looking for the same a few weeks ago, wth help from the forume i made it.
ctime (time.h) - C++ Reference
did something like this:
remember to include time.h
Code:time_t rawtime; struct tm * timeinfo; char buffer [80]; time ( &rawtime ); timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime ); strftime (buffer,80,"Sample-%b%d_kl_%H%M.txt",timeinfo); puts (buffer); FILE *fil1,*fil2; fil1=fopen(buffer,"w");
