FSCANNER.PAS v2.01 Copyright (C) 1998, 1999 Alexander Burlakov mailto:hunterml@fnmail.com http://www.chat.ru/~hunterml TBaseScanner - base class for file scanners creation. Scans all or specified drives for files selected by file masks. Performs thread based search for save system resources. You acn tune Priority of the searching process manually. TContextScanner - based on TBaseScanner and inherits all it's properies and methods, but also performs Context search in each file appropriated specified file mask. Context can be simple text string or array of any symbols [0..255]. Last Changed 16 Jul 1999 - Added ContextAsArray property and context parsing algorithm; - Added BufferSizeKb property for user defined buffer size; - Added FirstEntryOnly property. If this property is set to True Scanner scans every file for first context entry only. - Improved context search speed (algorithm completly recoded); - Fixed bug with ScanThread start. If anyone using my components with Windows NT please, inform me how it works. I really need this information since I still unable to test this unit with NT. Please, email me your comments or/and suggestions. Thanx. INSTALLATION Before using those components you need to install it. To install copy the enclosed files into a common VCL directory. In Delphi use the Install option on the Components menu to install FScanner tool into your component library. To use those components drop onto a form at design time.
