How to edit .LAN Files with delphi 7 -
i want edit .lan files delphi 7. can open them using notepad. question can same using delphi also? or there in-built functions tinifile,tregistry etc. has inbuilt functions?
ideas appreciated. thanks
if can open .lan file in notepad (and content makes sense), means .lan file plain-text file. and, of course, plain-text files can opened in delphi. open way open 'normal' .txt file (using tstringlist
, instance). doesn't matter extension different, long plain-text file.
now, have no idea .lan file contains. not common file format, pretty sure rtl/vcl has no parser it.
however, if .lan file has structure of .ini file, -- of course -- can treat .ini file , use tinifile
(or tmeminifile
).
one word of caution, however. using old version of delphi. delphi 7 doesn't support unicode in vcl, if .lan files unicode, need apply trix when reading , writing it.
(if utf-8 without bom, might lose special characters, it. if there bom, remove it. if file using 2 bytes per character, strange e v e n f t d o e s n ' t c o n t n n y s p e c l c h r c t e r s. in case, trix you.)
