Type to handle file reading and writing operations.

File type. This is used to permanently store data into the user device's file system and to read from it. This can be used to store game save data or player configuration files, for example.
|
|
Here's a sample on how to write and read from a file:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
func save(content):
|
|
var file = File.new()
|
|
file.open("user://save_game.dat", File.WRITE)
|
|
file.store_string(content)
|
|
file.close()
|
|
|
|
func load():
|
|
var file = File.new()
|
|
file.open("user://save_game.dat", File.READ)
|
|
var content = file.get_as_text()
|
|
file.close()
|
|
return content
|
|
[/codeblock]

<description>
|
|
Returns [code]true[/code] if the file cursor has read past the end of the file.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] This function will still return [code]false[/code] while at the end of the file and only activates when reading past it. This can be confusing but it conforms to how low-level file access works in all operating systems. There is always [method get_len] and [method get_position] to implement a custom logic.

|
Returns [code]true[/code] if the file exists in the given path.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Many resources types are imported (e.g. textures or sound files), and that their source asset will not be included in the exported game, as only the imported version is used (in the [code]res://.import[/code] folder). To check for the existence of such resources while taking into account the remapping to their imported location, use [method ResourceLoader.exists]. Typically, using [code]File.file_exists[/code] on an imported resource would work while you are developing in the editor (the source asset is present in [code]res://[/code], but fail when exported).
