This function attempts to create a file with numeric iteration for filename collision avoidance. If a specific filename is taken then an the algorithm will try to create the next file with increased numeric insert.

Syntax

file fsnamespace.createFileIterative( translator target, string prefix, string suffix, int maxIterations )

Arguments

  • target: the file translator based on which to create the file
  • prefix: part of file path before the numeric insert
  • suffix: part of file path after the numeric insert (for example the file extention)
  • maxIterations: integral number of tries for the existing filename collisions

Returns

This function returns a newly created file handle distinct from any other colliding one if successful, false otherwise.
