File.DeletePart of File module

Syntax   File.Delete (filePathName : string)

Description   File.Delete is used to delete the file specified by the parameter filePathName. This is the equivalent of doing a del in DOS or rm in UNIX.

Details   If the File.Delete call fails, then Error.Last will return a non-zero value indicating the reason for the failure. Error.LastMsg will return a string which contains the textual version of the error.

Example   This program deletes the file called information.

        File.Delete ("information")
        if Error.Last = eNoError then
            put "File delete"
        else
            put "Did not delete the file."
            put "Error: ", Error.LastMsg
        end if
Execute   An example program is available that creates a file in the current directory, and then deletes the file using File.Delete.

Status   Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling File.Delete, not by calling File.
