Reading Directory

[Fareed Rizkalla]

#include
#include

using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

void main()
{
WIN32_FIND_DATA FileDetails;
HANDLE ListDirectory;
ListDirectory = FindFirstFile(L"C:\\*", &FileDetails);
cout << FileDetails.cFileName << endl;
FindClose(ListDirectory);
}

I read on MSDN the code is deprecated on Windows 7! Any ideas why it is giving me junk text as a result. Does anyone also know a 1 line fix for the 3 using declarations?

Your code seems unicode, thats why cout prints junk. use unicode version as wcout<

The using keyword is used as follows -

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

It's only used that way if you want to dump the whole of the std:: namespace into your code. You can also use it on individual identifiers (as the original poster did) and to change the visibility of class members. Ash

This made me think the OP wanted it so.
