Thread: Help

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<io.h>
using namespace std;

struct  ffblk  
{ 
    long            ff_reserved;//whatever 
    long            ff_fsize;//the size of the file 
    unsigned long   ff_attrib;//the file's attributes 
    unsigned short  ff_ftime;//the file's timestamp 
    unsigned short  ff_fdate;//the file's datestamp 
    char            ff_name[256];//the file's name 
};  




int main()
{
	ffblk ffblk; 

	int done;
	done = _findfirst("*.TXT", &ffblk ,0);
 	cout<<done;

	return 0;
}
 function does not take 3 arguments

I would suggest being slightly more explicit next time.

Are you referring to this API? _findfirst, _findfirst64, _findfirsti64, _wfindfirst, _wfindfirst64, _wfindfirsti64 (CRT) If so, note

Parameters:

filespec
- Target file specification (may include wildcards).
fileinfo
- File information buffer

i.e., the compiler isnt lying when it says the API does not take 3 arguments--it takes 2.

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<io.h>
using namespace std;



int main()
{
	struct _finddata_t fileinfo;
	const char *filespec;

	int done;
	done = _findfirst("*.TXT", &fileinfo ); 
	
 	cout<<done;

	return 0;
}

The folder where it searches the file contains two text files.
The output says 1387040 what does it mean?
