Check out the ExtractFileName function and it's cousins. I think that it will result in code that is safer across different versions of windows and will handle all filenames etc

I need to parse strings which include files and directories. If they are a directory then I append global files. My concern is (even though I have never met one yet) a filename with NO extension. Would this be a concern?? code follows: for tval := 0 to memo1.Lines.Count - 1 do begin with memo1.Lines do begin if ansipos('.', strings[tval]) = 0 then //its a directory Strings[tval] := ZipMaster1.AppendSlash(strings[tval]) + '*.*'; end; end; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/ Wes Edwards Steadfast Technology +64 21 417-307 www.SteadfastTechnology.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
