41<h2>Description of Initialize ( const wchar_t *, bool )</h2>
42<div class="section"><p>Opens the file in the specified path with write-only access and enables writing. If the <SPAN class="argument">createIfNotExist</SPAN> argument has been set to <CODE>true</CODE> and no file exists in the specified path, this function creates the file and opens it write-only. You cannot call this function if this object already has a file open.</p><h3>Important</h3><div class="section">
43For expanded save data, you must explicitly create a file using the <a href="../../../nn/fs/TryCreateFile.html"><CODE>nn::fs::TryCreateFile</CODE></a> function before calling this function. <B>Note:</B> Specifying <CODE>createIfNotExist=true</CODE> for expanded save data will cause an error.
