Hi.

Below is the simple source for FSearch test.

---------- fsearch.pas
program fsearch_test;
uses
    Dos;
begin
    WriteLn( FSearch( 'fsearch.exe', GetEnv( 'PATH' )));
end.
-----------

If you copy 'fsearch.exe' to the directory not specified in PATH,

and launch 'fsearch.exe' in other directory, then 'fsearch.exe' do not

report any messages.

And if you launch 'fsearch.exe' in the directory not specified in PATH,

and other 'fsearch.exe' in the directory specified in PATH,

'fsearch.exe' report path to 'fsearch.exe' in PATH incorrectly.

I tested this with BP 7.0 in DOS 7.10, aka. Win95 OSR2.

Finally, I have a question. What mean 'BTW' and 'OTOH' ... ?

I'm sorry I'm

For better FPC !!!

BTW = by the way
OTOH = on the other hand

Hi,

you didn't implement the algorithm described in my previous e-mail completely (this was only the third point, but the first two were missing in your implementation). Believe me, I knew what I was talking about. :-) Anyway, I found a more elegant solution anyway (just submitted to CVS).
