System Unit
Assigns the name of an external file to a file variable.
Declaration:
procedure Assign(var F; FileName; String);
Remarks:
After a call to Assign, all file operations on F are
associated with FileName. It may consist of a drive and directory
specification. If no drive or directory is specified then the current
directory is used. If FileName is empty then the standard output
defined by operation system is used. Assign should not be used
on an open file.
Example:
{$ifndef __CON__}
This program must be compiled as console application only
{$endif}
var
FiText:Text;
begin
Assign(FiText, 'TEXTFILE.TXT');
Rewrite(FiText);
WriteLn(FiText, 'TextFile is now written to!');
Close(FiText);
end.
