RE: [DUG]: Referencing variable TextFile names

[Patrick Dunford]

Once you have assigned a file (which you can do in one procedure) why can't you just pass the file variable as a parameter into other procedures? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Howard Sent: Friday, 9 March 2001 13:21 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Referencing variable TextFile names Hello - Newbie question.   I want to open two text files for writing to.   Which one I write to depends on a condition - but the procedures for opening and writing are common to both.   So there are several procedures which reference a FileName eg AssignFile(FileName, File); ReWrite(FileName); Write(FileName, 'Data');   where FileName is of type TextFile and File is a string.   My question is how can I have FileName as a 'variable' such that under one condition it is FileOne and under another it is FileTwo   and I can thus use the same procedures?   Hope this makes sense.   Mark
