FSplit procedure

In unit Dos

Split a full-path filename in parts.

Declaration

pascal
procedure FSplit(path: PathStr; var dir: DirStr; var name: NameStr; 
 var ext: ExtStr)

Description

FSplit splits a full file name into 3 parts : A Path, a Name and an extension (in ext.) The extension is taken to be all letters after the last dot (.). For Dos, however, an exception is made when LFNSupport=False, then the extension is defined as all characters after the first dot.

Errors

None.
