new_file

The new_file creator function is a non-class version of the CFile:new method which creates and returns a new CFile object. If the object cannot be created, nil is returned. As an alternative to using this constructor followed by the Open method, you can use the global new_fileopen method to construct the CFile object and open the file in a specific access mode.

Example

The following script gets the path name for a file and

sFname = GetFileName()	-- return the full path name of the file
F = new_file()	-- open the file and create a CFile object
if not F then Exit("File not found") end
