Description

Filenames demonstrates using class TParse to parse, interrogate and extract components from filenames. Using a single path name, it demonstrates a simple parse using TParse::Set(), and how the components of the path name are retrieved. It then demonstrates parsing using RFs::Parse() with default and related paths.
