|    Directory Listing    |
|    27 Nov 14 06:13:02    |
   
   Hello everybody.   
      
   I am trying to get a listing of files in the currently logged directory and   
   output those to a text file. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to do   
   this with the FindFirst() and FindNext() functions in FreePascal. The example   
   I tried to base my own code on is as follows:   
      
   Var   
    Path : String;   
    SR : TSearchRec;   
    DirList : TStrings;   
   begin   
    if OpenPictureDialog1.Execute then   
    begin   
    Path:=ExtractFileDir(OpenPictureDialog1.FileName); //Get the path of the   
   selected file   
    DirList:=TStringList.Create;   
    try   
    if FindFirst('*.*', faArchive, SR) = 0 then   
    begin   
    repeat   
    DirList.Add(SR.Name); //Fill the list   
    until FindNext(SR) <> 0;   
    FindClose(SR);   
    end;   
      
    //do your stuff   
      
    finally   
    DirList.Free;   
    end;   
    end;   
      
   end;   
      
   Unfortunately, I was not able to get my example (which follows) to work:   
      
   Procedure GenDirFile ;   
    Var SR: TSearchRec ;   
    DirList: TStrings;   
    Path: String;   
    DirFile: Text;   
    Begin ;   
    Assign(DirFile, 'directory.lst') ;   
    Rewrite(DirFile) ;   
    DirList := TStringsList.Create;   
    if FindFirst('*.zip', faArchive, SR) = 0 then   
    begin   
    repeat   
    WriteLn(DirFile, SR.Name);   
    until FindNext(SR) <> 0;   
    FindClose(SR);   
    end;   
    Close(DirFile);   
    End ;   
      
   Is there something I am doing wrong here? Any help anyone can give would be   
   greatly appreciated.   
      
   Robert
