How can I check a folder to see if there is a specific file exist or not?

Dear All, I am a new comer of this message board. First let me say hi to you all ^_^ I am working on my project in my school which require me to check if there is any new file exist in a folder by using MFC. Since I am just start learning MFC a few weeks before, I totally have no idea about how I can do so........ Would anyone give me some advice on this in details? Really thanks a lot! Yours, Meteor

Hi, CFile f; char* pFileName = "test.dat"; if( !f.Open( pFileName, CFile::modeRead | CFile::shareDenyNone ) ) { #ifdef _DEBUG afxDump << "File could not be opened " << "\n"; #endif } Sincerely Yours, RadioShark

How about
_access(), orCFile::GetStatus()?

Oh....I forget to mention that I have to check it continuously, i.e. when I start the program, I have to be able to check it after clicking "Start" button and it will loop continuously to check..... Will your method be ok on that also? ^_^ Yours, Meteor

ReadDirectoryChangesW()and/orFindFirstChangeNotification()instead. Unless it is done infrequently, polling the OS in a loop is not very efficicent.

fwatch.exe is a good example.

Oh...I found that I forget to defind #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x400 at stdafx.h in order to use the API.... I can use it now! Thanks a lot~
