Delphi in a Nutshell

Name

Assign Procedure

Syntax

procedure Assign(var F: File; const FileName: string);
procedure Assign(var F: TextFile; const FileName: string);

Description

The Assign procedure does the same thing as AssignFile, but you should use AssignFile in new code. Assign is a method name that is often used in Delphi, and the two names can result in confusion. Assign is not a real procedure.
