std::string get_file_name(int sequence_number)
{
    std::stringstream out;

    out<<"today"<< sequence_number <<".txt";

    return out.str();

Error 1 error C2601: 'get_file_name' : local function definitions are illegal

is there aonther way?

Yes, don't do it wrong. You clearly nested the get_file_name definition directly into main. Functions don't nest in C++.
