FileClose Function

Action

Closes a file on the host system.

Syntax

FileClose(hFile)
Variable Description
hFile The handle of the file to close. HFILE.

Notes

FileClose closes the file identified by hFile. You return a handle to the file (an HFILE) by calling the FileOpen function.

Silk Test Classic raises the exception E_HANDLE if the file has already been closed or if an invalid file handle is specified.

This function is not designed for remote access.

Example

// output file handle
HFILE OutputFileHandle
// Create and open file for writing,
// write to it, then close
OutputFileHandle = FileOpen("mydata.txt", FM_WRITE)
FileWriteLine(OutputFileHandle, "First line of text")
FileClose(OutputFileHandle)
