Hi everybody, i &nbsp;would like to write a program which allows to open every file with the 'Readme' name, don't matter which extension, in VB it would be something like<br />
<br />
README.*<br />
<br />
but in pascal, assuming i have a text file with the full name of 'README.TXT' and if i want to open it I can NOT do like this<br />
assign(F, 'README')<br />
pascal spits an error 'file not found'<br />
<br />
can someone help me out of this ???<br />
<br />
thanks to everyone in advance<br />

how to open every file with the name 'README'

Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, largely (but not exclusively) intended to teach students structured programming and data structuring. Pasca was implemented on a wide range of architectures, from early PCs to mainframes. Pascal derivatives include OOP-based Object Pascal (used in Delphi and Lazarus/Free Pascal). Pascal is a purely procedural language and includes control statements with reserved words, but has many data structuring facilities and other abstractions like type definitions, records, pointers, enumerations, and sets.
