ExeName (Delphi)

Description

This example copies a specified old file to a new file. Add a TSaveDialog to the form. Also, add two TEdits, two TLabels, and a TButton with the OnClick event named Save1Click. Change the Old Path and New Path to move files outside the Debug directory; Old File and New File will not take a relative path.

Code

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Edit3.Text := ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName);
  Edit4.Text := Edit3.Text;
end;

procedure TForm1.Save1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  NewFileName, OldFileName: string;
  temp1, temp2: string;
  Msg: string;
  NewFile: TFileStream;
  OldFile: TFileStream;
begin
  temp1 := Edit4.Text;
  temp2 := ExtractFileName(Edit1.Text);
  NewFileName := temp1 + temp2;
  OldFileName :=
    Edit3.Text + ExtractFileName(Edit2.Text);
  Msg := Format('Copy %s to %s?', [OldFileName, NewFileName]);
  if MessageDlg(Msg, mtCustom, mbOKCancel, 0) = mrOK then
  begin
    OldFile := TFileStream.Create(
      OldFileName, fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyWrite);
    try
      NewFile := TFileStream.Create(
        NewFileName, fmCreate or fmShareDenyRead);
      try
        NewFile.CopyFrom(OldFile, OldFile.Size);
      finally
        FreeAndNil(NewFile);
      end;
    finally
      FreeAndNil(OldFile);
    end;
  end;
end;
