Getting a handle on your files

Question:

How do I get a file handle when using Delphi file variables?

Answer:

If you are using a TextFile, typecast your your textfile variable
like this to expose the handle property:

TheHandle := TTextRec(MyFile).handle;

For binary files, typecast your file variable like this:

TheHandle := TFileRec(MyFile).handle;
