Overview
The GetFilePosition function returns the read/write position for a Basic File Object.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
qword = GetFilePosition ( handle hBasicFile );
Parameters
hBasicFile
A handle to a Basic File Object.
Return Value
Returns a qword value indicating the current position for reading and writing to the file or -1 on failure. If hBasicFile is invalid, the function will return ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.
Remarks
The GetFilePosition function returns the byte position within the Basic File Object. For example, if 306 bytes have been read from a Basic File Object before this function is called, the read/write position within the Basic File Object will be 306 and the GetFilePosition function will return 306. To return a row/column position, a Mapped Text Object must be used in conjunction with the [GetFileXYPosition] function.
