CREATEFILE(NAME)
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
CREATEFILE(NAME)
ARGUMENT TYPE DESCRIPTION
name cstring The file to be created.
DESCRIPTION
Creates an empty file on CompactFlash. Note that the filing system used on the card does not
support long filenames, and that if backslashes are included in the pathname to separate path
elements, they must be doubled-up per Crimson’s rules for string constants as described in the
chapter on Writing Expressions. To avoid this complication, forward slashes can be used in
place of backslashes without the need for such doubling. The function returns a value of one
if it succeeds, and a value of zero if it fails. Note that the file is not opened after it is
created—a subsequent call to OpenFile() must be made to read or write data.
FUNCTION TYPE
This function is active.
RETURN TYPE
int.
EXAMPLE
Success := CreateFile(“/logs/custom/myfile.txt”)
