Since you didn't say what version of aflex you're using, or what version
of GNAT, it's hard to definitively answer the question.

The package GNAT.OS_Lib has a procedure Create_Temp_File which
will probably fill the bill.

I know not all versions of aflex that are out there are gnat-compatible,
but if memory serves me correctly, Pascal Obry ported a version which
is gnat-compatible.  Take a look at
