Type to handle file reading and writing operations.
|
|
</brief_description>

<description>
|
|
File type. This is used to permanently store data into the user device's file system and to read from it. This can be used to store game save data or player configuration files, for example.
|
|
Here's a sample on how to write and read from a file:
|
|
[codeblocks]
|
|
[gdscript]
|
|
func save(content):
|
|
var file = FileAccess.open("user://save_game.dat", FileAccess.WRITE)
|
|
file.store_string(content)
|
|
|
|
func load():
|
|
var file = FileAccess.open("user://save_game.dat", FileAccess.READ)
|
|
var content = file.get_as_text()
|
|
return content
|
|
[/gdscript]
|
|
[csharp]
|
|
public void Save(string content)
|
|
{
|
|
using var file = FileAccess.Open("user://save_game.dat", File.ModeFlags.Write);
|
|
file.StoreString(content);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public string Load()
|
|
{
|
|
using var file = FileAccess.Open("user://save_game.dat", File.ModeFlags.Read);
|
|
string content = file.GetAsText();
|
|
return content;
|
|
}
|
|
[/csharp]
|
|
[/codeblocks]
|
|
In the example above, the file will be saved in the user data folder as specified in the [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/io/data_paths.html]Data paths[/url] documentation.
|
|
There is no method to close a file in order to free it from use. Instead, [FileAccess] will close when it's freed, which happens when it goes out of scope or when it gets assigned with [code]null[/code]. In C# the reference must be disposed after we are done using it, this can be done with the [code]using[/code] statement or calling the [code]Dispose[/code] method directly.
|
|
[codeblocks]
|
|
[gdscript]
|
|
var file = FileAccess.open("res://something") # File is opened and locked for use.
|
|
file = null # File is closed.
|
|
[/gdscript]
|
|
[csharp]
|
|
using var file = FileAccess.Open("res://something"); // File is opened and locked for use.
|
|
// The using statement calls Dispose when going out of scope.
|
|
[/csharp]
|
|
[/codeblocks]
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] To access project resources once exported, it is recommended to use [ResourceLoader] instead of the [FileAccess] API, as some files are converted to engine-specific formats and their original source files might not be present in the exported PCK package.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Files are automatically closed only if the process exits "normally" (such as by clicking the window manager's close button or pressing [b]Alt + F4[/b]). If you stop the project execution by pressing [b]F8[/b] while the project is running, the file won't be closed as the game process will be killed. You can work around this by calling [method flush] at regular intervals.

<methods>

|
<method name="eof_reached" qualifiers="const">
|
|
<return type="bool" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Returns [code]true[/code] if the file cursor has already read past the end of the file.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] [code]eof_reached() == false[/code] cannot be used to check whether there is more data available. To loop while there is more data available, use:
|
|
[codeblocks]
|
|
[gdscript]
|
|
while file.get_position() < file.get_length():
|
|
# Read data
|
|
[/gdscript]
|
|
[csharp]
|
|
while (file.GetPosition() < file.GetLength())
|
|
{
|
|
// Read data
|
|
}
|
|
[/csharp]
|
|
[/codeblocks]

</method>
|
|
<method name="file_exists" qualifiers="static">
|
|
<return type="bool" />
|
|
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Returns [code]true[/code] if the file exists in the given path.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Many resources types are imported (e.g. textures or sound files), and their source asset will not be included in the exported game, as only the imported version is used. See [method ResourceLoader.exists] for an alternative approach that takes resource remapping into account.
|
|
For a non-static, relative equivalent, use [method DirAccess.file_exists].
|
|
</description>
|
|
</method>
|
|
<method name="flush">
|
|
<return type="void" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Writes the file's buffer to disk. Flushing is automatically performed when the file is closed. This means you don't need to call [method flush] manually before closing a file. Still, calling [method flush] can be used to ensure the data is safe even if the project crashes instead of being closed gracefully.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Only call [method flush] when you actually need it. Otherwise, it will decrease performance due to constant disk writes.

|
|
<method name="get_8" qualifiers="const">
|
|
<return type="int" />
|
|
<description>

</method>
|
|
<method name="get_as_text" qualifiers="const">
|
|
<return type="String" />
|
|
<param index="0" name="skip_cr" type="bool" default="false" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Returns the whole file as a [String]. Text is interpreted as being UTF-8 encoded.
|
|
If [param skip_cr] is [code]true[/code], carriage return characters ([code]\r[/code], CR) will be ignored when parsing the UTF-8, so that only line feed characters ([code]\n[/code], LF) represent a new line (Unix convention).
|

</method>
|
|
<method name="get_buffer" qualifiers="const">
|
|
<return type="PackedByteArray" />
|
|
<param index="0" name="length" type="int" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Returns next [param length] bytes of the file as a [PackedByteArray].
|
|
</description>
|
|
</method>
|
|
<method name="get_csv_line" qualifiers="const">
|
|
<return type="PackedStringArray" />
|
|
<param index="0" name="delim" type="String" default="","" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Returns the next value of the file in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format. You can pass a different delimiter [param delim] to use other than the default [code]","[/code] (comma). This delimiter must be one-character long, and cannot be a double quotation mark.
|
|
Text is interpreted as being UTF-8 encoded. Text values must be enclosed in double quotes if they include the delimiter character. Double quotes within a text value can be escaped by doubling their occurrence.
|
|
For example, the following CSV lines are valid and will be properly parsed as two strings each:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
Alice,"Hello, Bob!"
|
|
Bob,Alice! What a surprise!
|
|
Alice,"I thought you'd reply with ""Hello, world""."
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
Note how the second line can omit the enclosing quotes as it does not include the delimiter. However it [i]could[/i] very well use quotes, it was only written without for demonstration purposes. The third line must use [code]""[/code] for each quotation mark that needs to be interpreted as such instead of the end of a text value.

<method name="store_16">
|
|
<return type="void" />
|
|
<param index="0" name="value" type="int" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Stores an integer as 16 bits in the file.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] The [param value] should lie in the interval [code][0, 2^16 - 1][/code]. Any other value will overflow and wrap around.
|
|
To store a signed integer, use [method store_64] or store a signed integer from the interval [code][-2^15, 2^15 - 1][/code] (i.e. keeping one bit for the signedness) and compute its sign manually when reading. For example:
|
|
[codeblocks]
|
|
[gdscript]
|
|
const MAX_15B = 1 << 15
|
|
const MAX_16B = 1 << 16

func _ready():
|
|
var f = File.new()
|
|
f.open("user://file.dat", File.WRITE_READ)
|
|
f.store_16(-42) # This wraps around and stores 65494 (2^16 - 42).
|
|
f.store_16(121) # In bounds, will store 121.
|
|
f.seek(0) # Go back to start to read the stored value.
|
|
var read1 = f.get_16() # 65494
|
|
var read2 = f.get_16() # 121
|
|
var converted1 = unsigned16_to_signed(read1) # -42
|
|
var converted2 = unsigned16_to_signed(read2) # 121
|
|
[/gdscript]
|
|
[csharp]
|
|
public override void _Ready()
|
|
{
|
|
var f = new File();
|
|
f.Open("user://file.dat", File.ModeFlags.WriteRead);
|

f.Store16(121); // In bounds, will store 121.
|
|
f.Seek(0); // Go back to start to read the stored value.
|
|
ushort read1 = f.Get16(); // 65494
|
|
ushort read2 = f.Get16(); // 121
|
|
short converted1 = BitConverter.ToInt16(BitConverter.GetBytes(read1), 0); // -42
|
|

|
|
Appends [param string] to the file without a line return, encoding the text as UTF-8.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] This method is intended to be used to write text files. The string is stored as a UTF-8 encoded buffer without string length or terminating zero, which means that it can't be loaded back easily. If you want to store a retrievable string in a binary file, consider using [method store_pascal_string] instead. For retrieving strings from a text file, you can use [code]get_buffer(length).get_string_from_utf8()[/code] (if you know the length) or [method get_as_text].

<method name="store_var">

|
<return type="void" />
|
|
<param index="0" name="value" type="Variant" />
|
|
<param index="1" name="full_objects" type="bool" default="false" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Stores any Variant value in the file. If [param full_objects] is [code]true[/code], encoding objects is allowed (and can potentially include code).
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Not all properties are included. Only properties that are configured with the [constant PROPERTY_USAGE_STORAGE] flag set will be serialized. You can add a new usage flag to a property by overriding the [method Object._get_property_list] method in your class. You can also check how property usage is configured by calling [method Object._get_property_list]. See [enum PropertyUsageFlags] for the possible usage flags.

If [code]true[/code], the file is read with big-endian [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness]endianness[/url]. If [code]false[/code], the file is read with little-endian endianness. If in doubt, leave this to [code]false[/code] as most files are written with little-endian endianness.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] [member big_endian] is only about the file format, not the CPU type. The CPU endianness doesn't affect the default endianness for files written.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] This is always reset to [code]false[/code] whenever you open the file. Therefore, you must set [member big_endian] [i]after[/i] opening the file, not before.
