That's not what I said. I said that since you have no directory named x.aaa, then ShFileOperation ignores that directory because it does not fit your requested naming pattern. (Directory names can have dots in them.) It doesn't matter what you have in the directory if the entire thing is going to be ignored before looking inside.

Right. I thought that's what you had done all along. Back when you asked whether there was something built-in for searching subdirectories, or whether you should continue with your FindFirst and FindNext code. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
