Parameters

File
 Type: File
An instance of the File data type.

[Optional] Mode
 Type: Boolean

[Optional] Textmode
 Type: Boolean

Remarks

This method should be used before File.Open is used to open the file. If you use this method on a file that is already open, then an error occurs.

Example

The following example sets the TextMode to true when the file is open for writing. This means the file contents will be written to a text file that is named 'C:\TestFolder\TestFile.txt' by using ASCII characters. The WriteMode Method (File) and the Open Method (File) open the file for writing and the text ‘Hello World’ is written. The Close Method (File) closes the file after the file is written to. This example assumes that you have created a text file that is named C:\TestFolder\TestFile.txt.

var
    TestFile: File;
begin 
    TestFile.TextMode(True);  
    TestFile.WriteMode(True);  
    TestFile.Open('C:\TestFolder\TestFile.txt');  
    TestFile.Write('Hello World');  
    TestFile.Close;  
end;
