New Folder each day

AMP
Hello,
I have an experiment that produces a lot of data each day.
I was wondering if anyone has seen(I'm not asking anyone to write
anything for me) code that will create a new folder every day and put
the data into it.
Thanks

Just format DateTime.Today as a string in some suitable format and
create that as a folder. Have you already tried that and run into
problems?

We did something like this with weather data. Basically, for an observation
you look at the date and generate a folder name based on the date. If
generating folder names by year\month\day makes sense, then you could go with
that. The key is to test the existence of the folder when it is needed, and
create as necessary.

what is your doubt?
you can generate a name by using DateTime.Today. ToString( "MMddyyyy")
and use it as a folder name.
