directory and file listing

Hello,

i have a problem. I would like to print out everything that is on a hard drive. Like c: or d: etc...

For now i came up with this:

Code:

---

#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <string.h>


void IzpisiDir(char Pot[])

{
       
        WIN32_FIND_DATA podatki;
        HANDLE rocka;
        char tmpPot[MAX_PATH];
        char tmp[MAX_PATH];
        char zvezda[]="*.*";
       
       
        strcpy(tmpPot, Pot);
        strcat(tmpPot, zvezda);
       
       
        rocka = FindFirstFile(tmpPot,&podatki);
       
        if(rocka==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 
                return;
       
        do
        {
               
                if(podatki.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
                {
                        printf("%s", podatki.cFileName);                 
                        //if((0 != strcmp(podatki.cFileName,".")) && (0 != strcmp(podatki.cFileName,"..")));
                        strcpy(tmpPot, Pot);
                        strcat(tmpPot, podatki.cFileName);
                        strcat(tmpPot,"\\");
                        strcat(tmpPot, zvezda);
                       
                }
                else
                        printf(" %s\n",podatki.cFileName);
               
        } 
    while(FindNextFile(rocka,&podatki)); 
       
       
        FindClose(rocka);
       
         
}

int main()
{
       
        IzpisiDir("C:\\");
       
}

I just don't know how to print out a folder go into that folder print out everything that is in there and then go back out of the folder and move on to the next one like:

temp (directory)
test.ini
test01.ini
cboard(directory)
cboard.doc
cboard.pdf
... and so on

I just print out some of the folders and files.

Can somebody give me some pointer please. I've been doing this for 4 days now and i don't have any idea or energy to go on.

Thank you in advance.

There's a directory tree walker in the FAQ

Thanks Salem, i did it with the help of the FAQ.

I still have a question. Lets say i would need to find a txt file in the directory structure?

My code is listing everything. So i already have file names but how can i compare them so that i would find a text file (example: test.txt). I think only the txt part is important but i just cant figure out how to look for that?

Is there any function like strncmp? With the n in strncmp you can assign how many places(characters) would you like to compare the string. But that is from the start of the string.

Is there any function that would compare the last 3 characters in a string?

There's not such function in the standard C library (i'd say the closest thing to what you are looking for is the strstr() function). Of course, nothing stops you from writing your own function.

You could also save yourself some trouble and pass the filter you're looking for into FindFirstFile, ie. *.txt or filename.txt

>Is there any function like strncmp?
Yes, and you guessed the name. So using strncmp() and strrchr(), you could do something like:

Code:

---

if (strncmp(strrchr(filename,'.')+1, "txt", 3) == 0)

---

Although you probably want to do it in two stages so you can check the return value of strrchr() for NULL.

Quick and dirty extension comparison:

Code:

---

int has_extension(const char * const filename, const char * const extension)
{
    // Get the last . in the filename.
    const char *p = strrchr(filename, '.');
    // _stricmp is a Microsoft-specific implementation of a case-
    // insensitive string comparison. For more info see:
    // http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k59z8dwe(VS.80).aspx
    return (p && (0 == _stricmp(p, extension));
}
