Sounds like you have a scope error.

Scope is basically the thing you're coding inside of. Whether that's an IF statement, CASE, a FUNCTION or if it is a GLOBAL/STATIC-access.

For example:

Код:

new red = 0;
if(red == 0)
{
  new blue = 2;
}
else
{
  blue = 1; // This would throw an error because blue is not defined in the scope of this ELSE container
}

In your case, file is not defined in that scope. So, here's what you can do --
1. Move the file handle up so it covers more than one scope (and subsequently covers the working scope)... or
2. Create a new file handle called file and use that handle to pass to the function.
