File in use

[TanBandradi]

Dear AutoIt Forum,

How to detect if a file is in use? the file is not only limited to .exe file extension, but also .tmp and etc. I need this to delete temporary files in @TempDir folder, but the deletion process takes longer if the deletion attempts to the file that in use.

Thank you in advance,

Tan

Well the best i can come up with is to do this

Func DelIFNotInUse($filename)
    $file = FileOpen($filename, 2)
    If $file <> -1 Then
        FileClose($file)
        FileDelete($filename)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Yes, this is the best solution, thanks!
