void OnStart()
  {
   string file_name;
   int    i=1;
//--- receive search handle in local folder's root
   long search_handle=FileFindFirst(InpFilter,file_name);
//--- check if FileFindFirst() function executed successfully
   if(search_handle!=INVALID_HANDLE)
     {
      //--- check if the passed strings are file or directory names in the loop
      do
        {
         ResetLastError();
         //--- if this is a file, the function will return true, if it is a directory, the function will generate error ERR_FILE_IS_DIRECTORY
         FileIsExist(file_name);
         PrintFormat("%d : %s name = %s",i,GetLastError()==ERR_FILE_IS_DIRECTORY ? "Directory" : "File",file_name);
         i++;
        }
      while(FileFindNext(search_handle,file_name));
