[ROOT] problem with TString's and char's

Hello, 

I want to fill .root-files in a certain directory into a filelist. I used to do 
this with char, but now "completepath" has to be of type TString... Can anybody 
help me, please?  I do not need basename, dirhandle or fullname any further, 
just completepath. Thanks for any tipp.

  const Text_t *basename;
  TList  *filelist = new TList;
  while ((basename = gSystem->GetDirEntry(dirhandle))) {
    // skip non-root files
    //--------------------
    if (!strstr(basename, ".root")) continue;
    Text_t *fullname = new 
Text_t[strlen((Char_t)completepath)+strlen(basename)+2];
    strcpy(fullname, (Char_t)completepath);
    strcat(fullname, "/");
    strcat(fullname, basename);

    // fill root-file names into <filelist>
    //-------------------------------------
    filelist->Add(new TObjString(fullname));
    rootfiles++;
    delete fullname;
  }


Cheers, Daniela
