NAME: Append
USE: Opens an existing file for appending. Will place the file
pointer to the end of the file.
The file must first be prepared with the Assign command. For
instance:
Assign(FileVar,'Filename.ext');
FileVar must be of type TEXT and Filename.Ext can be any
legitimate filename or a empty value ('') in which case
FileVar will be assigned to the current output file.
If FileVar was previously open, Append will first close and
then reopen the file, setting the file position to the end of
the file.
The Command EOF(FileVar) will always return True.
Errors are reported with through IOResult, with a value of 0
returned as a successful operation.
DEPENDENCY: Assign must be called previous to Append.
SYNTAX: Append(FileVar);
EXAMPLE:
Program AppendTest;
Var
FVar : Text;
Begin
Assign(FVar,'TEST.DAT');
{$I-}
Append(FVar);
{$I+}
if IOResult <> 0 then ReWrite(FVar); { if file not found
then create new one }
Writeln(Fvar,'Appending text to TEST.DAT');
Close(FVar);
end.
