Some additional features for files

I think, it were good, if I can rename and erase files.
And it is very useful for me to read the name of a file/folder and create folders.
For example I ask for the name of the third file in a folder with a function, it returns for example "charLeft.bmp", or I ask for folders' names.
What do you think about these features?

yes, for example to ask the name of a file, then have it as a string var and check the name of it.
if it isn't the one you wanna load, an error message appears.

if you could do something like that, I would appriceated it =D

this can be done like this:
Code: Select all
if(fopen("FILENAME.EXT",input,"r+b")==0)
{
//error code here
}
else
{
//no error code here
}

you can see from the r+b that its not a text file.

EXT stands for extension. remove the "b" at the end of "r+b" to read text files

so "EXT" with "r+b" means, like, open anything?
I mean, any kind of file type?

no, it's just something I had placed. if you want to open a file, you will need to know the extension as well.

Here is another feature that would be great with GE: read files from the internet.
