FExpand

   

Declaration:

Function FExpand (const path: pathstr) : pathstr;

Description:

FExpand takes its argument and expands it to a complete filename, i.e. a filename starting from the root directory of the current drive, prepended with the drive-letter (under DOS).

The resulting name is converted to uppercase on DOS systems. Under LINUX, the name is left as it is. (filenames are case sensitive under Unix)

Errors:

FSplit
