Parameters
Name |
Type |
Optional |
Meaning |
FullFileName |
String |
No |
A string representing one or more source file names. These names should be fully-qualified paths to prevent unexpected results. Standard Microsoft MS-DOS wildcard characters, such as "*", are permitted only in the file-name position. Using a wildcard character elsewhere in the string will lead to unpredictable results.
Although this member is declared as a single string, it is actually a buffer that can hold multiple null-delimited file names. Each file name is terminated by a single $NUL character. The last file name is automatically terminated with a double $NUL character by thinBasic to indicate the end of the buffer. |
