Hi all,
I'm attempting to create a simple install program that will (just) fit
together with an application on a single floppy disk.
The idea is that a client will put the diskette in the drive, select
START/RUN then open A:/Install and the program will display a directory
list of C:\ , for selection or an Edit box instead. That way I can ensure
that idiot entries will be checked for.
Trouble is when I assign, for instance, 'C:\{directory}' to a string
variable 'PathStg' and call MkDir(PathStg) the directory is created, but
when I later try to copy a file from A:\ by using the construct -
CopyFile('A:\Program.exe', PathStg); the compiler tells me that there are
incompatible types 'String' and 'Pchar' in the command - Please, why is
this ?
If I use - CopyFile('A:\Program.exe' , 'C:\DestDir\Program.exe'); then I'm
told 'Not enough actual parameters' - Why ?
The Help topic 'Moving, Copying and Renaming Files told me to use
CopyFile(FromFile,ToFile) where these parameters are strings. Where am I
going wrong ?
Using Delphi/V3.
TIA
Colin
