file.File

Note:

The content in this help topic pertains to SuiteScript 2.0.

Object Description

Encapsulates a file within NetSuite.

Note:

This object only encapsulates a file’s metadata. Content is only loaded into memory (and returned as a string) when you call the File.getContents(). Content from CSV or text files can be accessed line by line using File.appendLine(options) or File.lines.iterator().

Important:

Binary content must be base64 encoded.

Create a new file.File Object (up to 10MB in size) with the file.create(options) method.

After you create a new file.File, you can:

upload it to the NetSuite File Cabinet with the File.save() method.
attach it to an email or fax without saving it to the File Cabinet.

Important:

If you want to save the file to the NetSuite File Cabinet, you must set a NetSuite File Cabinet folder with the File.folder property. You must do this before you call File.save().

Returns reader object File.getReader() and iterator of segments File.getSegments(options).

For a complete list of this object’s methods and properties, see File Object Members.
