Thread: File Searching Problem

have been working on this for a while now as I learn new things. This has kinda been my little project that I wanted to do alone for pride I suppose but I am getting so frustrated with it. When I run the program and search for a file in that same directory it will find the first file and it will spit an error out at me. Secondly if I try to search for a file in a sub directory it skips over it and tells me the search is completed without returning a file that I know is there. I believe that I am going about things in a wrong way in logic. I just got the Borland compiler where the find functions are different than in DevC++. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Code:

//Basic for right now
#include<dir.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#define MAX 256
struct ffblk find;

main(int argc, char *argv[]){
int done;
char dir[MAX];
char *fin="Search completed\n";

if (argc<2){
    printf("Usage: FIND <filename>\n");
    exit(1);
    }
done = findfirst( argv[1], &find, FA_NORMAL);
while (done != EOF){
    int x=1,cd_done;

    getcwd( dir, MAX);
    strcat(dir,"\\");
    strcat(dir, find.ff_name);  //Attach forward slash to end of dir name
    printf("%d)  %s\n",x,dir);
    if (find.ff_attrib == (FA_DIREC || _A_SUBDIR)) //check for directories in specified dir
    {
        chdir(find.ff_name);
        cd_done = findfirst(argv[1],&find,FA_NORMAL);
	if (cd_done == (-1))
	     printf("No files in %s\n",find.ff_name);
	else
	{
             while (cd_done != EOF)
             {
                 getcwd( dir, MAX);
                 strcat(dir, find.ff_name);
                 printf("%d)  %s\n",x,dir);
                 cd_done = findnext(&find);
             }
	}
    }
    else
        ;
    done = findnext(&find);
}
findclose(&find);
puts(fin);
return 0;
}
