Delphi File Management Routines

Delphi comes with a number of routines, defined in the SysUtils Unit, to help you work with files.

In this example, I will go over some common routines and some less known ones. I will cover how to:

• Read and change File Date and Time Stamps
• Access and change the File Attributes (Example: Make a file read-only or hidden)
• Extract the File Name from a path
• Extract the Directory from a path
• Extract and change the File Extension
• Rename and move files
• Determine and change the current active directory
• Delete a file
• Test for a valid file or directory
• Search for files (or partial file names) recursively from a given path
• Determine the Date and Time for:
  

  • When a file was created
  • When a file was last accessed
  • When a file was last updated
• Use recursive coding
• Use while-you-wait animation
