I'm adding an autosave feature to one of my widget apps in case the user
get logged off before completion, or god forbid, my application should
crash. I want to do this in a way that is independent of the OS that IDL
is running upon.
While searching the IDL docs I came across the DELETE keyword to open
and thought my problem was solved. But this doesn't seem to be working
properly. Here's what I did:
print,'Deleting temp file...'
openr, filelun, path+filename, /delete, /get
free_lun, filelun
I have also tried it w/ openw and openu. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
--
