Hello,
for a little FPC-/Lazarus-project I need some routines working on the
filesystem - for example: "Give me (recursivly) all *mp3-Files in this
directory".
Searching around in the online-documenation, I found that FPC knows functions
like FindFirst, FindNext and so on.
My question is: Are these function are working both on Linux and on Windows???
Yes.
Using an OpenFileDialog in Lazarus and take it's property "filename" for
input/output of these functions, will it work both on Windows and Linux???
Yes.
Are there any functions for converting Windows-Path's to Unix-Path's???
Yes, in sysutils:
Procedure DoDirSeparators (Var FileName : String);
Function SetDirSeparators (Const FileName : String) : String;
And if you use the PathDelim constant consistently, then there should be no need
to use these functions, even.
Michael.
Michael, thank you very much :-)
At the moment, I'm converting a lot of my old Delphi-Code to Lazarus /
FPC. I'm working on a project which should run on windows *and* on Linux
.. the most difficulties I have is when it comes up to deal with File-Paths.
The most of my old procedures and functions are running fine with
Lazarus under Windows - but not under Linux, because they have
something like the "\" hardcoded for dividing directories.
I'm realy not sure how to handle this ... perhaps somebody has some
procedures, dealing with pathes, directories and so on ... and using
*no* platform-specific-code???
Greetings,
Tom
