CloseFile()

CloseFile() will affect a variable that has been assigned to a file with either OpenFileRead() or OpenFileWrite(), making it so that that variable is no longer associated with that file. It is used like so:

dim file

file = OpenFileRead("file.txt")
'do stuff
CloseFile(file)

That variable can then be used for anything else, like a normal variable, or can be assigned to another file for reading/writing.

When a Basic4GL program closes, all variables assigned to files are automatically cleared. However, it is best to close them using the program.
