File Properties

The FileGetInteger() function is used for obtaining file properties. The identifier of the required property from the ENUM_FILE_PROPERTY_INTEGER enumeration is passed to it during call.

ENUM_FILE_PROPERTY_INTEGER

ID	ID description
FILE_EXISTS	Check the existence
FILE_CREATE_DATE	Date of creation
FILE_MODIFY_DATE	Date of the last modification
FILE_ACCESS_DATE	Date of the last access to the file
FILE_SIZE	File size in bytes
FILE_POSITION	Position of a pointer in the file
FILE_END	Get the end of file sign
FILE_LINE_END	Get the end of line sign
FILE_IS_COMMON	The file is opened in a shared folder of all terminals (see FILE_COMMON)
FILE_IS_TEXT	The file is opened as a text file (see FILE_TXT)
FILE_IS_BINARY	The file is opened as a binary file (see FILE_BIN)
FILE_IS_CSV	The file is opened as CSV (see FILE_CSV)
FILE_IS_ANSI	The file is opened as ANSI (see FILE_ANSI)
FILE_IS_READABLE	The opened file is readable (see FILE_READ)
FILE_IS_WRITABLE	The opened file is writable (see FILE_WRITE)

The FileGetInteger() function has two different options of call. In the first option, for getting properties of a file, its handle is specified, which is obtained while opening the file using the FileOpen() function. This option allows getting all properties of a file.

The second option of the FileGetInteger() function returns values of file properties by the file name. Using this option, only the following general properties can be obtained:

FILE_EXISTS — existence of a file with a specified name
FILE_CREATE_DATE — date of creation of the file with the specified name
FILE_MODIFY_DATE — date of modification of the file with the specified name

FILE_ACCESS_DATE — date of the last access to the file with the specified name

FILE_SIZE — size of the file with the specified name

When trying to get properties other than specified above, the second option of FileGetInteger() call will return an error.
