Its functions may operate recursively or non-recursively and accept the use of wildcards. Synchronous and asynchronous variants are provided for each of these functions and the use of the <codeph>MFileManObserver</codeph> protocol allows user notification to take place during the operation.</p> <p><codeph>TFindFile</codeph> and <codeph>CFileMan</codeph> classes support the use of wildcard characters. An asterisk indicates any number of characters, and a question mark indicates a single character. Note that in the context of these classes, <codeph>*</codeph> and <codeph>*.*</codeph> are equivalent and match to all files, with and without extensions. Filename matching is case insensitive.</p> <p>Before using any of these classes, a connection to a file server session must have been made and is passed to the constructor of the class. </p> </conbody></concept>
