Closes a previously opened file.
FileClose ( "filehandle" )
| filehandle | The handle of a file, as returned by a previous call to FileOpen(). |
| Success: | 1. |
| Failure: | 0 if the filehandle is invalid. |
Upon termination, AutoIt automatically closes any files it opened, but calling FileClose() is still a good idea.
This function is also used to close search handles as returned by FileFindFirstFile().
