I'm having issues with the following 2 lines of code...
Exec(GetEnv('COMSPEC'),'/c find "'+paramstr(1)+'" qbslist.txt');
writeln('return code ',lo(DosExitCode));
Even when nothing is found I still get return code 0! :-\ I need to
know how many strings were found (or at a minimum if none were found,
which should theoretically have a non-zero return code. I know it does
in NT, but at home in DR-DOS/MS-DOS "echo %errorlevel%" isn't working, so
I can't see directly what return code it's giving, though I'm pretty
sure it wouldn't be 0 if nothing was found).
Ideally I'd rather let FP do the search (so that the code isn't
OS-dependent - one day, when I get around to it, I'd like to compile this
for Unix too), but I can't find anything like that. In the documentation I
can find stuff for string manipulations, and stuff for file manipulations,
but nothing for finding a string in a set of files. :-\
I'm using 1.0.10 (seeing as how 2.0.0 doesn't support DOS from the
comments I've seen on list).
thanks,
DONALD.
