| File.Delete | Part of File module |
| Syntax | File.Delete (filePathName : string)
|
| Description | File.Delete is used to delete the file specified by the parameter filePathName. This is the equivalent of doing a del in DOS or rm in UNIX.
|
| Details | If the File.Delete call fails, then Error.Last will return a non-zero value indicating the reason for the failure. Error.LastMsg will return a string which contains the textual version of the error.
|
| Example | This program deletes the file called information.
File.Delete ("information")
if Error.Last = eNoError then
put "File delete"
else
put "Did not delete the file."
put "Error: ", Error.LastMsg
end if
|
| Execute | An example program is available that creates a file in the current
directory, and then deletes the file using File.Delete.
|
| Status | Exported qualified. This means that you can only call the function by calling File.Delete, not by calling File.
