A number of built-in scripting classes are available. See also Script Functions.

All the example code below is written in using the Pascal scripting language.

Class TEnumVariant

TEnumVariant is a helper class for collections, e.g. FileSystemObject.Drives

Create the object by passing the collection. Then you call ForEach to get each item in the collection. For example:

// Return the list of drives

DrivesEnum:=TEnumVariant.Create(gFSO.Drives);

try

while DrivesEnum.ForEach(DiskDrive) do begin

If (DiskDrive.IsReady = TRUE) then

If not SBLocation.AddDir(DiskDrive.DriveLetter) then

Exit;

end;

finally

DrivesEnum.Free;

end;

See the AllDrives.pas example script for an example.

Class TStringList

This class is for storing lists of strings. For more information refer to the Delphi help entry for TStringList.

function Example: String;

var

s: TStringList; // IMPORTANT: Must define it as TStringList

idx: Integer;

begin

Result:='TESTING';

// s:=TStringList.Create;

s:=TStringList.Create(dupError);

s.CaseSensitive:=TRUE;

s.Sorted:=TRUE;

s.Duplicates:=dupError; // dupIgnore, dupAccept

s.Add('DEF');

s.Add('ABC');

s.Add('abc');

s.Delete(s.IndexOf('abc'));

idx:=0; // IMPORTANT: Must set it to an integer value before calling .Find

if s.Find('ABC', idx) then

//Result:=s.Strings[idx]

Result:=s[idx] // Does not work if just do var s;

else

Result:='Not found';

s.Free;

end;
