Hi.
Im writing a program for my project that'll run some commands to run benchmarks on some applications.
What i want to do is once the application has closed, that my program copys the results file to a specific directory and then opens the directory.

Can anyone tell me or give me tips on how to do that please?
Thanks in advance all.

So that'd go behind each button that requires it, with the paths in the command edited for each button as well?

Thanks for the reply bty.
Much appriciated.

Would it work behind each button though?

I dont really need it to be 'tidy' & efficient in all honesty.
I just need it to 'work', to show proof of concept for my project.
As long as the function works 'as advertised', i'll have enough to write about.
In a way, i suppose with it being 'untidy', it'll give me more to write about.

Thanks again bty. Much appriciated.

I'll have a crack at that tomorrow.

Bit more help please.

Im just putting the finishing touches on my Project, and for the life of me, i cannot remember how i can get a txt file to display 'in' Delphi. So that it appears, scrollable, in a memo box or something similar.
Can someone point out the obvious thing that im forgetting to do (that i also supposidly learned in my first programming lecture 2 years ago! lol).

Thanks in advance all.

Thanks.
Right. Got my program completely working. Apart from one thing.

Is there a way i can have my program run completely off a CD?
The program itself makes calls out to several txt files, and a few other smaller programs.
Is there a way for me to plonk all of the files it uses on a CD and have it access it all from there, in the same location as itself?

Thanks in advance.

No writing too.
So.
Rarther than the paths being, for example c:\blah\blah.txt, it'd just be 'blah.txt'?
