This function attempts to create a file with numeric iteration for filename collision avoidance. If a specific filename is taken then 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 (greater than 0)
Returns
This function returns a newly created file handle distinct from any other colliding one if successful, false otherwise.
