FILE.FLUSH Function

Syntax

V file_pointer.Flush()

Description

Flush contents of file to disk.

Discussion

The .FLUSH() method flushes output held in the disk cache, to assure all output is stored safely in the file referenced by the file object pointer before the file is closed.

Example

text = ui_get_text("Text", "Enter text:", "Value")
file_pointer = FILE.create("c:\a5\flush.txt", FILE_RW_EXCLUSIVE)
for i = 1 TO 50
    file_pointer.write(text)
next i
file_pointer.flush()'write any buffered text to disk
file_pointer.close()
