Getting content of a folder

[Jaran Nilsen]

I am looking for a solution for getting the content of a folder (files and / or folders). Does anyone know how I can do this?

FindFIrstFile/FindNextFile or http://www.codeproject.com/file/sadirread.asp -c

Thanks, I will look at the FindFirstFile/FindNextFile functions. I tried the class that you linked to, but it didn't seem like it would list the content of just the folder I selected, but all the other subdirectories, or nothing... Thanks again. -J

Ok, so this is what I try: CSADirRead dirReader; dirReader.Recurse() = false; dirReader.ClearDirs(); dirReader.GetDirs("D:\\Stash"); CSADirRead::SADirVector &directories = dirReader.Dirs(); //Temp var for folder name CString sFolder; OutputDebugString("Sub folders:\n"); for (CSADirRead::SADirVector::const_iterator dit = directories.begin(); dit!=directories.end(); dit++) { sFolder.Format("%s", (*dit).m_sName); OutputDebugString(sFolder+"\n"); sDirList = sDirList+"D"+sFolder+"|"; } Don't mind the OutputDebugString, and the other string formatting (sDirList). The problem is that the only thing that is returned is "D:\Stash", not the subfolders... Do you know why? What have I done wrong...? Thanks.

OK, well, then I'll make something out of FindFirstFile/FindNextFile. Thanks for your help. -Jaran

You can do it by using "CFindFile" class. C.R.Naik

[Jaran Nilsen]

Is that a MFC class, or something I can download here?

[Jaran Nilsen]

I found a CFileFind class... Is that the one you mean?

Ya....you are on the right way. C.R.Naik
