 |

Hi,
I have a certain directory filled with files. I want all file from that
directory with extension *.x to be showed in a listbox or something? How to
get these filenames?
Greetings,
Rick

What you should do is judge the file extension.You can use
function ExtractFileExt(const FileName: string): string;
to get the file's extension.The return of the above function
is the file's extension.

The Delphi library has FindFirst and FindNext functions, which will
work nicely for this. They encapsulate the Win32 API FindFirstFile and
FindNextFile functions.

You can roll your own quick and easy with FindFirst, FindNext ... or go
the custom route - if you plan on any recursion or looking in
sub-directories/folders I'd recommend the custom route.
There are a number of them out there:
http://www.torry.net/search.htm
My preference is:
http://www.delphiarea.com/products/#TFindFile
Slick and easy to use. It has a method that returns each file as it's
found so you can check whatever needs checking and process the
FileMatch as required.
My preference for the list is Virtual TreeView. Takes a bit of mucking
about to get the hang of but very, very cool - even as a listbox.
Alternately, depending on what you may want to do with the files,
there's VirtualShellTools. Find them both at:

To get them into a listbox:
var
Dir: array [0..MAX_PATH] of Char;
....
StrCopy(Dir, '*.x');
DlgDirList(Handle, Dir, ListBox1.Handle, 0, DDL_ARCHIVE);
Do not pass a literal directory / file mask to DlgDirList. It wants to
modify that input, so pass it a buffer as shown.
You may want to qualify that mask a bit more. With no drive or base
folder, the results are somewhat arbitrary.
If you want the list in "something" what is the "something"?
Good luck.
Kurt

a TFileListBox looks "something" suitable. just fill in it's
directory and mask properties accordingly.
