Manipulating Files

Several common file operations are built into the runtime library. The routines for working with files operate at a high level. For most routines, you specify the name of the file and the routine makes the necessary calls to the operating system for you. In some cases, you use file handles instead.

Warning: Although the Delphi language is not case sensitive, the Linux operating system is. Be attentive to case when working with files in cross-platform applications.
The following topics describe how to use runtime library routines to perform file manipulation tasks:

- Deleting a file
- Finding a file
- Renaming a file
- File date-time routines
- Copying a file
