function FindAllFiles(const SearchPath: String; SearchMask: String = '';
SearchSubDirs: Boolean = True): TStringList;
findallfiles looks for files matching the searchmask in the SearchPath directory and if specified its children and returns a stringlist with the resulting filenames.
The mask can be a single mask like you can use with the FindFirst/FindNext functions,
or it can consist of a list of masks, separated by a semicolon (;).
Spaces in the mask are treated as literals.
Example:
uses
...
fileutil
...
var
PascalFiles: TStringList;
begin
//No need to create the stringlist; the function does that for you
PascalFiles := FindAllFiles(LazarusDirectory, '*.pas;*.pp;*.p;*.inc', true); //find e.g. all pascal sourcefiles
try
showmessage(Format('Found %d Pascal source files',[PascalFiles.Count]));
finally
PascalFiles.Free;
end;
