How to create a temporary file using PowerShell?

To create a temporary file with the PowerShell, we can use the New-TemporaryFile command. This command creates a temporary file tmp<NNNN>.tmp where NNNN represents the random hexadecimal number.

Example

PS C:\> New-TemporaryFile

Directory: C:\Users\Administrator.AUTOMATIONLAB\AppData\Local\Temp

Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        4/10/2021   9:14 PM              0 tmpF624.tmp

The output path is selected based on the path defined at Path.GetTempPath()
