## Member Function Documentation

virtual bool FileScanner::AddFile | ( | const char * | filename,
|  | size_t | basepath_length |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Add a file with the given filename.

Parameters:

  | filename | the full path to the file to read
  | basepath_length | amount of characters to chop of before to get a filename relative to the search path.

Returns:
  true if the file is added.

Implemented in AIFileChecksumCreator, BaseMedia< Tbase_set >, FiosFileScanner, ScenarioScanner, GRFFileScanner, BaseMedia< SoundsSet >, BaseMedia< MusicSet >, and BaseMedia< GraphicsSet >.

uint FileScanner::Scan | ( | const char * | extension,
|  | const char * | directory,
|  | bool | recursive = `true` |
| ) |  |  |

Scan for files with the given extention in the given search path.

Parameters:

  | extension | the extension of files to search for.
  | directory | the sub directory to search in.
  | recursive | whether to search recursively

Returns:
  the number of found files, i.e. the number of times that AddFile returned true.

Parameters:

  | extension | the extension of files to search for.
