Script OPEN Statement |
OPEN [<file name>] [ {/R | /W} ] The OPEN statement is used to open a new or existing file from within a script. The file name is optional. If no file name is supplied, you are prompted to enter one. The file name can be a full path, such as C:\Docs\Project2\data.txt, or a simple name, such as data.txt. If it is a simple file name, the file is opened in the Uscripts folder. The /R option opens the file to read only. The /W option allows both reading and writing in the file. The default option is /W. All data written to the file is appended to the end of the file. To rewrite a file completely, delete it before opening it. For example: _error
= "Command timed out. Error ##36." places the following message in a file named errors.txt: Command timed out. Error #36. If an error occurs, the _$filerror system variable is non-zero. |
