Thread: Ignoring Lines and Continuing through Spaces,

Hey,

I have a program that reads the files in its directory, and then puts them in a .txt file:

Code:

     strncat(DirSpec, "\\*", 3);
     hFind = FindFirstFile(DirSpec, &FindFileData);

         int fileOutputCount = 0;
         ofstream a_file ( "oldnames.txt" );
         if (a_file.is_open() ) 
               {
         	   while(FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData) != 0)
               {
                      ++fileOutputCount;
                      if (fileOutputCount > 1 ) 
                         {

                               a_file<<FindFileData.cFileName<<"\n";
                         }
                  }
        	   }

FindClose(hFind);
a_file.close();

The problem is, I don't want it to count itself or two other file names. I've already taken care of . and .. with the fileOutputCount.

Next problem, same program:

I'm also reading line from another file, and they have spaces. I needed to read filenames, seperated by a new line. Currently, I have this:

Code:

  fscanf(fp_fileNames, "%s", newFileName);

I figure it has something to do with the "%s", but unfortunately, that was taken from another program, and searching for "%s" doesn't show anything useful.

Thanks in advance,
Blurr

Thanks a lot! It works just how I wanted now!
