Where to Write Temporary XML Files

RandyKreuziger

I'm creating a tool to edit metadata. The tool will export a feature class's metadata as an XML file, make modification to the file then import it back in. Where is a safe place for tools to create temporary text and XML files?

I wrote some tools along these lines, and used Windows TEMP.

In ModelBuilder, I got the path from the system environment variable TEMP using the Calculate Value tool. Set the output data type to Folder.

Expression: env("TEMP")

Code Block:

def env(envVar):   import os   return os.environ[envVar]

If you're python scripting, just use os.environ

tmpXML = os.environ["TEMP"] + "/" + "xxtemp.xml"

Thanks for the solutions. I tried to mark both your posts as answering the question but the system won't allow it 😞

If you're using 10.1, you can use the ScratchFolder environment value
