I wanted to kno how to read a directory structure to get the names of files in a particular directory.
Im using windows XP and VC++, and i would like to get the names of all files present in C:\TEMP directory

Thnx and regards
ritesh

Findfirst will do this for you:

#include <dir.h>

struct ffblk ffblk;
int done;

done = findfirst("C:\\TEMP\\*.*", &ffblk, 0);

while (!done)
{
   printf("%s\n", ffblk.ff_name);
   done = findnext(&ffblk);
}

Hi Georges
that works on a DOS machine...
i found out that _findfirst and _findnext of io.h have to be used...
thnx for the info though

Yep, well it depends on the compiler - I use Borland 5.02. Obsolete now of course but still going strong! Glad it solved the problem albeit indirectly.
