Class
ASCII File Access
Purpose
Function to open an existing ASCII text file
Syntax
FOPEN(<expC> [,expN>])
See Also

Description
The FOPEN() function opens an existing ASCII text file. It returns a numeric file pointer when the file is opened successfully, or a -1 if unsuccessful. The <expC> is the name of the ASCII file to open. Since the file pointer is required to identify an open file to other file functions, always assign the return value to a memory variable. The optional <expN> determines the file access mode:
| <expN> | Access Mode |
|---|---|
| If not specified, read-only | |
| 0 | Read-only |
| 1 | Write only. Existing contents are deleted. |
| 2 | Append. Text may be added to the end of the existing contents. |
If an error occurs, -1 is returned by the FERROR() function. The FCLOSE() function is used to close a file which has been opened with FOPEN().
Example
use accounts fp=fopen("existing.file") if ferror()=-1 dialog box "The file could not be opened." else string = fgets(fp) do while not empty(string) ? string string = fgets(fp) enddo ? endif fclose(fp) if ferror()=-1 dialog box "The file could not be closed." endif
