#1 Burning Software

Is there a simple example, preferably in Delphi, of how to get a list of the files on an existing CD? I'm using ISO9660JolietFileTree. The CD has multiple sessions/tracks. TIA.

You need to work with Win32 API FindXxx (FindFirstFile/FindNextFile/FindClose) rather then with StarBurn API. Good sample is here:

Sorry but I don't think I phrased my question appropriately. I'm still learning the nomenclature. I;m famillar with the windows functions and am using them already. The windows functions only show my files in last session. My CD/DVDs have multiple sessions.

I am writing a backup utility for my application. I zip the database and assorted configuration files into one file which is uniquely named (Example: "MYBACKUP 20090620 104254.zip" The numbers are just the date and time). It is then copied to the CD/DVD and the session is closed. So, overtime the CD has many files in multiple sessions. I need to be able to present that list to user and allow them to restore from any of the files stored on that backup.

Thanks again for your help.

Oh, I see now... What you need to do is to call ImportTrack( N ) where N is number of session you want to import (you can get N from GetTOCInformation(...) API call). Then you can surf resulting imported tree with GetRoot(...), GetFirstKid(...) and GetNextKid(...). Should be enough ) BTW, don't forget to destroy your imported tree every time between track-to-track imports!

Thank you. That is what I was looking for.

However, I am not sure I understand the difference between sessions and Tracks. I see the GetTOCInformation(...) API call gets me both the number of tracks and sessions. You indicated that I should "call ImportTrack( N ) where N is number of session". Is that the session number or the track number? Thanks again.

For data discs each session = 1 track.

Thank you.

Good
