Working with Files

The VCL/RTL supports several ways of working with files. In addition to using file streams, there are several runtime library routines for performing file I/O. Both file streams and the global routines for reading from and writing to files are described in Approaches to file I/O.

In addition to input/output operations, you may want to manipulate files on disk. Support for operations on the files themselves rather than their contents is described in Manipulating files.

Note: When writing cross-platform applications, remember that although the Delphi language is not case sensitive, the Linux operating system is. When using objects and routines that work with files, be attentive to the case of file names.
