How can I use TSearchOption in Delphi

TSearchOption is an enumeration type in the IOUtils unit that specifies the type of search to be performed when enumerating the files or directories in a directory. It has two possible values

soTopDirectoryOnly This value specifies that only the files and directories in the top-level directory should be included in the search.
soAllDirectories This value specifies that the files and directories in all subdirectories should be included in the search.

Here is an example of how you can use TSearchOption when enumerating the files in a directory in Delphi

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

var

FileList: TStringDynArray;

FileName: string;

begin

FileList := TDirectory.GetFiles(‘CMyDirectory’, ‘.txt’, TSearchOption.soAllDirectories);

for FileName in FileList do

begin

//Do something with the file

end;

In this example, the GetFiles function searches for all text files (.txt) in the specified directory and all its subdirectories (specified by the TSearchOption.soAllDirectories value). If you wanted to search only the top-level directory, you would use TSearchOption.soTopDirectoryOnly instead.

You can find more information about TSearchOption in the Delphi documentation.
