Title: Search for files
Question: How can I search in specified folders for files with a given mask?
Answer:
{ Search for files with a maks;
e.g. FindFiles('c:\data\', '*.mp3', true);
FindFiles('d:\MyDocuments\', '*.doc', false);
results the number of files found }
uses
SysUtils;
function FindFiles(const Path, Mask: string; IncludeSubDir: boolean): integer;
var
FindResult: integer;
SearchRec : TSearchRec;
begin
result := 0;
FindResult := FindFirst(Path + Mask, faAnyFile - faDirectory, SearchRec);
while FindResult = 0 do
begin
{ do whatever you'd like to do with the files found }
Form1.Memo1.Lines.Add(Path + SearchRec.Name);
result := result + 1;
FindResult := FindNext(SearchRec);
end;
{ free memory }
FindClose(SearchRec);
if not IncludeSubDir then
Exit;
FindResult := FindFirst(Path + '*.*', faDirectory, SearchRec);
while FindResult = 0 do
begin
if (SearchRec.Name '.') and (SearchRec.Name '..') then
result := result +
FindFiles (Path + SearchRec.Name + '\', Mask, TRUE);
FindResult := FindNext(SearchRec);
end;
{ free memory }
FindClose(SearchRec);
end;
