Methods

1. FileExists(fileName: String): Boolean


This method takes a single argument, fileName, of type String, and
returns a Boolean value indicating whether a file with the specified name
exists in the file system.
2. AssignFile(f: Textfile; fileName: String)
This method assigns a text file identified by fileName to a file variable f for
subsequent file operations. It takes two arguments: a file variable f
(passed by reference) and the name of the file (fileName) as a String.
3. Reset(var f: Textfile)
Resets the file pointer to the beginning of the file associated with the file
variable f. It takes one argument, a file variable f, passed by reference,
representing the file to be reset.
4. EOF(fileVariable: Textfile): Boolean
Checks if the end-of-file marker has been reached for the file associated
with the file variable.
5. ReadLn(f: Textfile; var line: String)
Reads the next line from the text file associated with the file variable f and
stores it in the line variable. It takes two arguments: a file variable f
(passed by reference) and a variable line of type String (also passed by
reference) to store the read line.
6. Pos(subStr: String; str: String): Integer
Returns the position of the first occurrence of substring subStr within the
string str. It takes two arguments: subStr, the substring to search for, and
str, the string in which to search for the substring. Returns an Integer
representing the position of the substring within the string, or 0 if not
found.
7. Copy(s: String; index, count: Integer): String
Returns a substring of s starting at position index and consisting of count
characters. It takes three arguments: s, the source string; index, the
starting index (1-based) of the substring; and count, the number of
characters to copy.
8. Delete(sourceStr: String; index, count: Integer): String
Removes a specified number of characters from the source string starting
at the given index and returns the modified string.
9. CloseFile(f: Textfile)
Closes the file associated with the file variable f. It takes one argument, a
file variable f, passed by reference, representing the file to be closed.
