How to make timestamp.txt file in R?

This is to get current time . I need to get something like 2021-02-08 12:33:04.txt file

library(lubridate)
    t <- Sys.time()
    cat(t,"\n")
    timeStamp <-  strftime(t,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    c<-as.character(str(as.POSIXlt(timeStamp)))
    writeLines(paste(timeStamp,"\n",user.str_input), "timeStamp.txt")

I'm afraid you cannot write colons (:) in .txt file names.
One possible workaround is to eliminate colons from the file name, i.e.

writeLines('HELLO', paste0(gsub(':', '', timeStamp), '.txt'))
