Record used to hold data for FindFirst and FindNext SysUtils unit
type
  TSearchRec = record

Description
The TSearchRecord record type defines a data structure used to hold file search information for the FindFirst and FindNext routines.
 
Time  = Last modified file date and time
Size  = File size in bytes
Attr  = File attributes
Name  = File name

 
Where Attr can have these values :
 
faAnyFile  : Any file
faReadOnly  : Read-only files
faHidden  : Hidden files
faSysFile  : System files
faVolumeID  : Volume ID files
faDirectory  : Directory files
faArchive  : Archive files

 
Note : TFileName is a simple string type, but is used to hold file names.
 
The remaining fields are used internally by the find routines - you should not update them.

Example code : Find all Unit1.d* regular file names and sizes in the current directory
var
  searchResult : TSearchRec;

begin
  // Try to find regular files matching Unit1.d* in the current dir
  if FindFirst('Unit1.d*', faAnyFile, searchResult) = 0 then
  begin
    repeat
      ShowMessage('File name = '+searchResult.Name);
      ShowMessage('File size = '+IntToStr(searchResult.Size));
    until FindNext(searchResult) <> 0;

    // Must free up resources used by these successful finds
    FindClose(searchResult);
  end;
end;
