Reset

Declaration:

Procedure Reset (Var F : Any File Type[; L : longint]) ;

Description:

Reset opens a file F for reading. F can be any file type. If F is an untyped or typed file, then it is opened for reading and writing. If F is an untyped file, the record size can be specified in the optional parameter L. Default a value of 128 is used.

Errors:

If the file cannot be opened for reading, then a run-time error is generated. This behavior can be changed by the {$i} compiler switch.
