Hi all,
I am trying to make a function that will search directory and all its
subdirectories for a file mask and delete them, although I have a problem
that the search does not cover all the directory subdirectories...so can
someone help me please by telling me what exactly I am missing here...thanks
in advance.
Code used :
=====================
bool __fastcall TForm1::SearchForFile(AnsiString Folder, const AnsiString
&MaskToFind)
{
TSearchRec sr;
bool returnedval = false;
if(!Folder.IsEmpty() && (Folder[Folder.Length()] != '\\'))
Folder += "\\";
if(FindFirst(Folder + MaskToFind, faAnyFile, sr) == 0)
{
do
{
if((sr.Name != ".") && (sr.Name != ".."))
{
if(sr.Attr & faDirectory)
{ return SearchForFile(Folder + sr.Name, MaskToFind);
}
else
{
if(sr.Name.AnsiCompareIC(MaskToFind) == 0)
{ returnedval = true;
break;
}
else
{
}
}
}
}
while(FindNext(sr) == 0);
FindClose(sr);
}
return returnedval;
}
