CreateScratchName example

Create a unique scratch name for the derived output of the Buffer tool. This scratch name is then used as input to the Clip tool.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env

# Set workspace
#
env.workspace = "C:/Data/Municipal.gdb"

# Create a scratch name for the Buffer tool derived output.
#   The scratch name created will be "C:/Data/xxxx0.shp",
#   If xxxx0.shp already exists, the number will be incremented
#   until the name is unique in the workspace.
#
scratch_Name = arcpy.CreateScratchName("xxxx", "", "Shapefile", "C:/Data")

# Execute Buffer tool, using scratch name for output
#
arcpy.Buffer_analysis("Roads", scratch_Name, "1000 feet")

# Execute Clip tool, using scratch name for input
#
arcpy.Clip_analysis(scratch_Name, "CityBoundary", "CityRoads")

# Delete scratch dataset
arcpy.Delete_management(scratch_Name)
