Even better would be to use Tempfile, and/or to put File.delete in an 'ensure' block. Tempfile would also reduce the possibility of the same name being used twice concurrently.

It is two hyphens ... that's just WordPress thinking for me and deciding that when I type two hyphens that I really want a really long hyphen. I corrected it. And yeah, the file name could be anything. I'm just a random sort of guy. And I generally avoid time-stamping files that don't need to be moved around, archived, etc., as the OS does that for me, i.e., it's redundant info. @tkramar, thanks.

It might be better to append hash of the file name + current date time than to rely on randomly generated file names. Plus, on my system, a unified diff requires two hyphens diff --unified instead of diff -unified Good idea.

diff –unified instead of diff -unified

In combination with the plugin that lets you save multiple variations, it will be very useful. Thank you. I'll turn it into a plugin when I get to using it in my plugin, unless you've already done that... have you? Looks pretty cool. If it works as advertised, this is will fantastic.
