Create

Unit: SDL_streams
Class: TMixedFStream
Declaration: constructor Create (const FName: string; Mode: Word);

Constructs a new file stream and initializes it. Please note that Create must be called before any other operation of the file stream is performed. See the overview of the TMixedFStream structure for an example of how to read and write data from and to a file.

The parameter FName defines the full path specification of the file to be opened. The Mode parameter determines how the file is opened:

Mode Explanation
fmCreate Creates a file with the specified name. If a file with the given name exists, the existing file is overridden and opened in write mode.
fmOpenRead Opens the file for reading only.
fmOpenWrite Opens the file for writing only. Writing to the file completely replaces the current contents.
fmOpenReadWrite Opens the file to modify the current contents rather than replace them.
