Syntax
File.OpenFile (Path, OpenConst [, fcBinary | fcText])
Path |
The path to a file on the server that is to be opened. |

|
fcRead |
Opens a file for reading. If the file can't be found, the call fails. |

fcWrite |
Opens a file for writing. If the file exists, its content is deleted. If the file doesn't exist, a new file is created. |
|

Opens a file for appending without removing the EOF marker before writing new data. If the file doesn't exist, a new file is created. |
|
fcUpdate |
Opens a file for both reading and writing. If the file can't be found, the call fails. |
|
fcReadWrite |
Opens an empty file for both reading and writing. If the file exists, its content is deleted. If the file doesn't exist, a new file is created. |
fcBinary |
Opens the file in a mode that assumes the content is binary. This is the default. |
fcText |
Opens the file in a mode that assumes the content is readable text in the platform's default character set, or a UTF8 text file with the UTF8 marker. Translation will be done to the proper internal, server, and client character sets. |
