Dairy Command?

Hi Guys, I want to use the diary command which seems perfect what I want to intend with the exception of not been able to use variable filename with it. That is I would like to pass variable filename with date stamp on it with diary command each time .m script is run. Can anybody has suggestion? Example currently i can use: diary temp.log but i want diary temp_date.log where date is variable? Thanks in advance.

dfilename = ['temp_' date '.log'];
diary(dfilename)

Why can't you create filename as a string variable (character array) and then use

 diary(FILENAME)
