Hi,

Can someone provide a simple example of opening a file, for example file1.txt
Closing the file.
And then opening a different file, for example file2.txt

I was hoping it was as simple as:

OpenToRead ( 1, "myfile1.txt" )
CloseFile ( 1 )
OpenToRead(2,"myfile2.txt")
CloseFile(2)

Is the above code correct?

Thank you.
DBPro is the new Amos (I hope)

Yes it is. You can also use

f = OpenToRead("myfile1.txt")
Close(f)


Things to keep in mind;

1. IOS/Android/Linux filenames are case sensitive so if you say OpenToRead(1, "MyFile.txt") and the name of the file is "myfile.txt" then the open will fail on those devices but not on windows

2. Output files are not created in the "media" directory on windows they are created in /Users/{your id}/AppData/Local/AGKApps/{Your app name} (I have no idea where they are created on ISO/Android etc)
