Function: check if it's a directory

Hi all! Is there a Windows function that check me if it's a directory? If it doesn't exist, is there a mode?

GetFileAttributes Function (Windows)

Or even more succintly
PathIsDirectory Function (Windows)

thank you both!

For other user that they will have same problem, this is the solution:

Code:

---

...
isDirectory = GetFileAttributes( struttura.cFileName );
if ( isDirectory == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY )
cout << "it's a dir" << endl;
else
cout << "it isn't a dir" << endl;
....

It's still wrong -> File Attribute Constants (Windows)
The result is a bit-mask, so your example would fail for a hidden directory.

You need to do

Code:

---

isDirectory = GetFileAttributes( struttura.cFileName );
if ( ( isDirectory & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY ) == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY )

---

You do realise the attributes of the file/folder are present in the dwFileAttributes member of the WIN32_FIND_DATA structure?

Use the PathIsDirectory() function...

Obviously if it doesn't exist the PathIsDirectory() function is going to return false...
