traverse a directory and list all file names?
-
Hello everyone, Are there any samples to traverse a directory and list all the file names? Written in C. thanks in advance, George

You can use these API's: FindFirstFile() FindNextFile()
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

See
WIN32_FIND_DATA find; HANDLE handle=FindFirstFile("*.*",&find); while(FindNextFile(handle,&find)!=0) m_List2.AddString(find.cFileName);//m_List2 is CListBox FindClose(handle);_**

Thank you _AnShUmAn_! Are they C/C++ standard or Microsoft specific things? I want to use C/C++ standard API in my application. regards, George

Hi WhiteSky, I find that there are some Microsoft specific things, like WIN32_FIND_DATA. Are there any API/structures which are standard C/C++? regards, George

Hi Ovidiu, The sample is very useful. Are there any non-Microsoft specific API/data structure samples? (I mean using pure C/C++ standard API/data structure.) regards, George

No file systems are platform specific.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Confused. All file system should be platform specific, on Window there are special file format, and on Linux, there are others. regards, George

Yup, that's why there isn’t a single ANSI C++ method for accessing the files on the file system. Not to mention, *Nix and Windows treat directory structures differently. Simply '\' is the directory delimiter for Windows & '/" is the delimiter on *Nix (this is a high level difference, but everything adds up). If you want something that isn’t platform specific (as your posts indicated) your stuck with Java (I wonder how far along MONO is) or writing two separate classes and figure out which platform your on at compile time.

Glad I was able to help. :java: Why vote a 4? Not that it matters at all.

Hi Douglas, If you could provide sample code, I will rate it to 5. :-) regards, George
