Thread: directory/file

I want to create a program that finds a folder, opens it, and goes through each file in that folder. I'm not sure how to go about this, and i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I looked at the faq on this site, but none of the code worked (dir.h or dirent.h couldn't be found). I need it to be for a console application. I know how to open individual files, but not a folder, and each file in the folder.

Thanks.

"I'm guessing this is on Windows OS if dirent.h was not found, and I think you did not finish reading the FAQ entry."

Are you referring to the Win32 example? I thought this was a Windows Program (not console). I got a bunch of errors when i compiled it.

Code:

error C2664: 'FindFirstFileW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [4]' to 'LPCWSTR'	
error C2664: 'GetCurrentDirectoryW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char [260]' to 'LPWSTR'	
error C2664: 'SetCurrentDirectoryW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char *' to 'LPCWSTR'	
error C2664: 'SetCurrentDirectoryW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [260]' to 'LPCWSTR'	
error C2664: 'SetCurrentDirectoryW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [3]' to 'LPCWSTR'	
error C2664: 'strcmp' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const WCHAR [260]' to 'const char *'	
error C2664: 'strcmp' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'WCHAR [260]' to 'const char *'
error C2664: 'strcmp' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'WCHAR [260]' to 'const char *'

By the way, is there something i'm doing wrong. Because, everytime i copy and paste some code from Windows Programming tutorials (including this site), i always get these types of errors about converting parameter to LPCWSTR.

Thanks.

Ahh, that fixed it.

Thanks.
