Description |
The RmDir procedure removes a directory from the current directory.
If the directory does not exist, an EInOutError exception is thrown.
You can avoid such an exception by preventing IO errors using the {$IOChecks Off} compiler directive. You must then check the IOResult value to see the outcome of your IO operation (rememering that use of IOResult resets the value).

Example code : Create a directory and then remove it |
var
error : Integer;
begin // Try to create a new subdirectory in the current directory // Switch off I/O error checking
{$IOChecks off}
MkDir('TempDirectory');
// Did the directory get created OK?
error := IOResult;
if error = 0
then ShowMessage('Directory created OK')
else ShowMessageFmt('Directory creation failed with error %d',[error]);
// Delete the directory to tidy up
RmDir('TempDirectory');
// Did the directory get removed OK?
error := IOResult;
if error = 0
then ShowMessage('Directory removed OK')
else ShowMessageFmt('Directory removal failed with error %d',[error]);
end;
