File Attributes in FindFirst

[hstijnen]

Hi,

I'm using FindFirst to find files. I followed the example in the Help:

iAttributes |= faAnyFile ;
TSearchRec sr;
if (FindFirst(filter, iAttributes, sr) == 0) {
do {
if ((sr.Attr & iAttributes) == sr.Attr) {
...... and so on

Now faAnyFile = 0x03F, but sr.Attr = 0x080.
This code is not mentioned in the attribute constants for TSearchRec.

What can it be?

Thanks,

Henk

Is it just one file, and is the file unusual in any way?

The result of FindFirst is one Word document somewhere on the file server.

Sorry I haven't posted earlier, been very busy. I believe the attributes you are looking for are in the Win APIs WIN32_FIND_DATA and GetFileAttributes. You may need to compare iAttributes to:

Value Meaning
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE The file or directory is an archive file or directory. Applications use this flag to mark files for backup or removal.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPRESSED The file or directory is compressed. For a file, this means that all of the data in the file is compressed. For a directory, this means that compression is the default for newly created files and subdirectories.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY The "file or directory" is a directory.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN The file or directory is hidden. It is not included in an ordinary directory listing.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL The file or directory has no other attributes set. This attribute is valid only if used alone.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE The data of the file is not immediately available. Indicates that the file data has been physically moved to offline storage.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY The file or directory is read-only. Applications can read the file but cannot write to it or delete it. In the case of a directory, applications cannot delete it.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM The file or directory is part of, or is used exclusively by, the operating system.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY The file is being used for temporary storage. File systems attempt to keep all of the data in memory for quicker access rather than flushing the data back to mass storage. A temporary file should be deleted by the application as soon as it is no longer needed.
