I need it programatically. I tried FindFirstFile/FindNextFile but recursion is a bit too slow and uses up too much resources. I thought there was a data structure for each partition that had all the partition information including number of files and folders. Kelvin Chikomo

Does anybody know how to get the number of files and folders on a windows machine. Kelvin Chikomo -- modified at 6:47 Sunday 12th February, 2006

I managed to sort out the problem by reading the whole line into a istringstream object then tokenize the object using the getline method and '\t' as the delimiter. But for interest sake how wld you do it? Kelvin Chikomo

Thanks but strtok() does not work well if you have empty columns. i.e concurrent tabs

I got it I read each line into an an istringstream object and i use getline(buffer,num_chars,'\t') to seperate the the string. COOL Kelvin Chikomo

DO you have any suggestions

Yah they have spaces between them

Does anybody know how to read a tab delimited file at the same time using the '\n' as a delimiter if its encountered first. I tried using getline(buffer, num_chars, '\t') It works fine when i know the number of columns. Say i had a file like line1:Col1 Col2 Col3 line2:Col1 Col2 line3:Col1 Col2 Col3 using getline(buffer, num_chars, '\t') would return Col1 Col2 Col3 Col1 Col2 Col1 Col2 Col3 everything in one line. I tried defining a macro like #define tab_eol '\t'|'\n' then use it as getline(buffer,num_chars,tab_eol) but it does not really work Any help Please Kelvin Chikomo

I don`t realy understand your question, but from what i understand i suggest you open your file in binary mode and write it to a nuew file with a .txt extension. ifstream infile; infile.open("file_name.lnr", ios::bin); //get the number of characters infile.read(buffer,size); ofstream outfile; outfile.open("new_file.txt"); outfile.write(buffer,size); The syntax might be wrong Kelvin Chikomo
