See my note about dynamic recording of file names: http://rfpoweramp.wordpress.com/category/sdr/gnu-radio/
The file sink is either being directed to "filename" or "/dev/null". You can dynamically change that during the flow with a boolean check box. In your case, instead of the check box, you would setup a probe to monitor your integer, and maybe probe at 10 times a second, which would change the file name. The actual "filename" is a python statement that concatenates the system time and other info into a formatted string. I'll post an example GRC file tonight that shows the dynamic recording with time stamped file. I'm going to try the ARRL Frequency Measurement test tonight, and wrote a GRC flow with that functionality (not the probe part, but I'm using probes to display the channel power).
