How can I use TDirectory in Delphi

TDirectory is a class in the IOUtils unit that provides a set of static methods for working with directories. You can use these methods to perform various operations on directories, such as creating, deleting, and renaming directories, as well as enumerating the files and subdirectories contained within a directory.

Here are some examples of how you can use TDirectory in Delphi

To create a new directory, use the CreateDirectory method;

TDirectory.CreateDirectory(‘CMyDirectory’);

1	TDirectory.CreateDirectory(‘CMyDirectory’);

To delete an existing directory, use the DeleteDirectory method;

TDirectory.DeleteDirectory(‘CMyDirectory’, False);

1	TDirectory.DeleteDirectory(‘CMyDirectory’, False);

To rename an existing directory, use the MoveDirectory method;

TDirectory.MoveDirectory(‘CMyDirectory’, ‘CMyNewDirectory’);

1	TDirectory.MoveDirectory(‘CMyDirectory’, ‘CMyNewDirectory’);

To retrieve a list of all the files in a directory, use the GetFiles method;

var
  FileList: TStringDynArray;
  FileName: string;
begin
  FileList := TDirectory.GetFiles(‘CMyDirectory’);
  for FileName in FileList do
  begin
     //Do something with the file
  end;
end;

var

FileList: TStringDynArray;

FileName: string;

begin

FileList := TDirectory.GetFiles(‘CMyDirectory’);

for FileName in FileList do

begin

//Do something with the file

end;

To retrieve a list of all the subdirectories in a directory, use the GetDirectories method;

var
  DirList: TStringDynArray;
  DirName: string;
begin
  DirList := TDirectory.GetDirectories(‘CMyDirectory’);
  for DirName in DirList do
  begin
     //Do something with the subdirectory
  end;
end;

var

DirList: TStringDynArray;

DirName: string;

begin

DirList := TDirectory.GetDirectories(‘CMyDirectory’);

for DirName in DirList do

begin

//Do something with the subdirectory

end;

You can find more information about the methods provided by TDirectory in the Delphi documentation.
