Opening and Creating Text Files in Recital
- fcreate() - create a new text file

- fopen() - open an existing text file
numeric = fopen(<filename as character> [, <mode as numeric>])
Closing Text Files in Recital
Writing to a Text File using Recital
Reading From a Text File using Recital
Checking Whether a File Exists in Recital
- file() - check whether a file exists
logical = file(<filename as character>)
Moving, Copying and Deleting Files with Recital
- rename - move a file

- copy file - copy a file
copy file <sourcefile as character> [to] <targetfile as character>
- erase - delete a file or files
erase <filename as character [, filename as character [, ...]]>
- delete file - delete a file
delete file <filename as character>
Accessing File Attributes in Recital
- fileinfo() - return a comma-separated string containing information about a file
character = fileinfo(<filename as character>)
- fsize() - return the size of a file
numeric = fsize(<filename as character>)
- fdate() - return the last modification date of a file
date = fdate(<filename as character>)
- ftime() - return the last modification time of a file
character = ftime(<filename as character>)
- fullpath() - return the full path of a file

- basename() - return the base filename of a file
character = basename(<filename as character>)
Miscellaneous File and File System Commands and Functions
- adir() - return number of files matching a pattern and load filenmames and information into arrays
numeric = adir(<skeleton as character> [, <filenames as array> [, <filesizes as array> [, <creationdates as array> [, <creationtimes as array> [, <attributes as array>]]]]])
- dir - display a directory of files
dir [<skeleton as character>]
- filecount()- return number of files matching a pattern
numeric = filecount(<skeleton as character>)
- curdir() - return name of the current directory
character = curdir()
- default()- return name of the current directory
character = default()
- set default - set current directory
set default to [<directory as character>]
- path() - return current Recital path setting
character = path()
