    File_kill

    Hello

    Im using the following code to kill a file

    fn = APP_SourcePath + "log\h2o_use_" & admin(1) & ".txt"

    If FILE_EXISTS(fn) = TRUE Then
    MsgBox(0, fn & "file exists")

    n = FILE_KILL (fn)

    If n = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, fn & "file is gone")
    Else
    MsgBox(0, " " & n & " error ")
    EndIf
    EndIf

    the error returned is 70

    thank you

    Welcome to the forums!

    The Error 70 is "Permission Denied", that means some process might still use it, or file is open ... such a things.

    P.S. I just realised the explanation of error codes is not present in the help file. I will prepare it and with help of Eros this list will be present in next version of help file.

    EDIT: Here is the list of related errors:
    • 53 = File not found
    • 70 = Permission denied
    • 75 = Wrong path
    • 76 = Path not found
