    Search for a file in C

    Hi! Can anyone help me where to start. I'd like to create a program. Develop a program for finding a file on a computer with a specified name (The program must take into account the possibility of searching for a part of the filename and the extension, the result is displayed on the screen and in the file)

    There are examples of how to walk the filesystem tree in the FAQ.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    You mean the words "C and C++ FAQ" across the top aren't a big enough clue.
