fileCreate
Creates a new file in a directory of a resource. If there already exists a file with the specified name, it is overwritten with an empty file.
To prevent memory leaks, ensure each successful call to fileCreate has a matching call to fileClose.
If you do not want to share the content of the created file with other servers, prepend the file path with @ (See Filepath for more information).
It is important to remember to close a file after you've finished all your operations on it, especially if you've been writing to the file. If you don't close a file and your resource crashes, all changes to the file may be lost.
