CFile:Class Description CFile:delete

CFile:new


The new method creates an instance of the CFile class. Your code must assign this reference to a name (see below) to allow you to work with the class. If the object cannot be created, the value nil is returned.

Note: This method's name uses all lower case to present it as the analog of the C++ new operator. Generally, the names of class methods begin with an uppercase letter but new and delete are different.

Example

 

F = CFile:new()

-- create a new instance of F of the CFile class.

  ...

-- other uses of the class go here, between new() and delete().

F:delete()

-- deletes the object and its associated memory.
