Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ cFile() [1/2]

cFile::cFile ( void )

Simple constructor - creates an unopened file object, use Open() to open / create a real file.

Definition at line 20 of file File.cpp.

◆ cFile() [2/2]

cFile::cFile	(	const AString &	iFileName,
		eMode	iMode
	)

Constructs and opens / creates the file specified, use IsOpen() to check for success.

Definition at line 30 of file File.cpp.

◆ ~cFile()

cFile::~cFile ( )

Auto-closes the file, if open.

Definition at line 40 of file File.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ChangeFileExt()

AString cFile::ChangeFileExt	(	const AString &	a_FileName,
		const AString &	a_NewExt
	)

static

Returns a_FileName with its extension changed to a_NewExt.

a_FileName may contain path specification.

Definition at line 589 of file File.cpp.

◆ Close()

void cFile::Close ( void )

Definition at line 102 of file File.cpp.

◆ Copy()

bool cFile::Copy	(	const AString &	a_SrcFileName,
		const AString &	a_DstFileName
	)

static

Copies a file, returns true if successful.

Overwrites the dest file if it already exists.

Definition at line 386 of file File.cpp.

◆ CreateFolder()

bool cFile::CreateFolder ( const AString & a_FolderPath )

static

Creates a new folder with the specified name.

Returns true if successful. Path may be relative or absolute

Definition at line 454 of file File.cpp.

◆ CreateFolderRecursive()

bool cFile::CreateFolderRecursive ( const AString & a_FolderPath )

static

Creates a new folder with the specified name, creating its parents if needed.

Path may be relative or absolute. Returns true if the folder exists at the end of the operation (either created, or already existed). Supports only paths that use the path separator used by the current platform (MSVC CRT supports slashes for file paths, too, but this function doesn't)

Definition at line 467 of file File.cpp.

◆ Delete()

bool cFile::Delete ( const AString & a_Path )

static

Deletes a file or a folder, returns true if successful.

Prefer to use DeleteFile or DeleteFolder, since those don't have the penalty of checking whether a_Path is a folder.

Definition at line 304 of file File.cpp.

◆ DeleteFile()

bool cFile::DeleteFile ( const AString & a_FileName )

static

Deletes a file, returns true if successful.

Returns false if a_FileName points to a folder.

Definition at line 368 of file File.cpp.

◆ DeleteFolder()

bool cFile::DeleteFolder ( const AString & a_FolderName )

static

Deletes a folder, returns true if successful.

Returns false if a_FolderName points to a file.

Definition at line 320 of file File.cpp.

◆ DeleteFolderContents()

bool cFile::DeleteFolderContents ( const AString & a_FolderName )

static

Deletes all content from the specified folder.

The specified folder itself stays intact. Returns true on success, false on failure.

Definition at line 333 of file File.cpp.

◆ Exists()

bool cFile::Exists ( const AString & a_FileName )

static

Returns true if the file specified exists.

Definition at line 294 of file File.cpp.

◆ Flush()

void cFile::Flush ( )

Flushes all the bufferef output into the file (only when writing)

Definition at line 695 of file File.cpp.

◆ GetExecutableExt()

AString cFile::GetExecutableExt ( )

static

Returns the customary executable extension used by the current platform.

Definition at line 682 of file File.cpp.

◆ GetFolderContents()

AStringVector cFile::GetFolderContents ( const AString & a_Folder )

static

Returns the list of all items in the specified folder (files, folders, nix pipes, whatever's there).

Definition at line 498 of file File.cpp.

◆ GetLastModificationTime()

unsigned cFile::GetLastModificationTime ( const AString & a_FileName )

static

Returns the last modification time (in current timezone) of the specified file.

The value returned is in the same units as the value returned by time() function. If the file is not found / accessible, zero is returned. Works for folders, too, when specified without the trailing path separator.

Definition at line 645 of file File.cpp.

◆ GetPathSeparator()

AString cFile::GetPathSeparator ( )

static

Returns the path separator used by the current platform.

Note that the platform / CRT may support additional path separators (such as slashes on Windows), these don't get reported.

Definition at line 669 of file File.cpp.

◆ GetSize() [1/2]

long cFile::GetSize ( const AString & a_FileName )

static

Returns the size of the file, or a negative number on error.

Returns the size of file, in bytes, or -1 for failure; asserts if not open.

Definition at line 233 of file File.cpp.

◆ IsEOF()

bool cFile::IsEOF ( void ) const

Definition at line 127 of file File.cpp.
