Hi all,
Just tried something with file searching and cannot remember if it's different from dcc. fpc-2.4.3 on linux.

sr: TSearchRec;
if FindFirst('/blah/*,fileAttr, sr)

  repeat
    // here
   sr.PathOnly is empty .... ok
   but in case of filename
   sr.FileName is extracted so there's no file path inside filename or even

written to sr.PathOnly.

  until FindNext() = 0;
end;

So, is it different from dcc ? afaik I didn't make acrobations with this under kylix (remember each level of dir) because filename already contained path. Anyone ?

Don't use PathOnly, it is deprecated and scheduled for removal.

but in case of filename sr.FileName is extracted so there's no file path inside filename or even written to sr.PathOnly.

FileName does not exist. Only Name exists, and it contains just the filename part.

You must always remember the directory.
I do this since day 1.
