Hi all,
I've got a problem and don't know how to do best:
I need to delete some files from a directory (including subdirs). The
joke is, that we need a complex file definition which file to delete and
which one not. We need include files and exclude files, account for file
size etc.
A small example:
TStringList *IncludedFiles, *ExcludedFiles;
IncludedFiles->Add("*.bmp");
IncludedFiles->Add("*.gif");
ExcludedFiles->Add("Default.*");
When executing the code (e.g. a class or component) in a directory
containing the files
(1) Default.bmp
(2) foo.bmp
(3) Default.gif
(4) HelloYou.gif
(5) YetAnotherFile.txt
only the files (2) and (4) should be affected.
So what I need is an idea of code (or maybe some existing component) of
how to create a list of all files matching the definitions.
Of course I could use FindFirstFile/FindNextFile, but then I will only
get a list of files matching my include files. How can I filter out my
exclude files, esp. when they contain wildcards?
Thanks for some ideas,
S�ren
