Environment Variable Management code & component 1.2

Components > System > System

Description

This unit provides a component and various routines for manipulating environment variables. Features include:

• A component to enumerate all available environment variables and to get, set and delete variables.
• A set of routines effectively duplicating facilities of component, but also able to create a string list containing information about all environment variables.
• A routine to replace a environment variable name references within a string with the values of the variables.
• A routine to create a customised environment block for passing to child processes.

A help file is supplied which integrates into the Delphi 3 to 7 IDE and provides help on the component and routines.

This component and routines are essentially wrappers around the following Windows API calls:

• GetEnvironmentVariable: returns the value of a given environment variable.
• SetEnvironmentVariable: sets an environment variable’s value.
• GetEnvironmentStrings: gets a list of all available environment variables.
• ExpandEnvironmentStrings: replaces all ’%’ delimited environment variable names in a string with the variables’ values.

To learn about the use and manipulation of environment variables check out the article linked to from the component’s home page.
