Directory Listing

[Angelus]

How can I get a listing of all files in a directory in Windows. I want to use the smallest amount of header files and the least amount of code possible, if there's a portable method that'd be great but if it has to be windows specific that's ok. Thanks

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	using namespace std;
	WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData;	
	HANDLE hFind;

	hFind = FindFirstFile("C:\\*.*", &FindFileData);
	while (hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 
	{
		cout << hFind.cFileName << endl;
		FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData);
	} 
	cout << "Finished" << endl;
	return 0;
}

Windows specific.

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
#include <windows.h>

int main(void){

	WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd = {0}; 

	HANDLE hFile = FindFirstFile("C:\\*.*",&wfd);

	if(hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE){
		cout << "Found nothing" << endl;
		return 1;
	}

	while(FindNextFile(hFile,&wfd)){
		if(wfd.dwFileAttributes == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
			cout << "Found folder " << wfd.cFileName << endl;
		else cout << "Found file " << wfd.cFileName << endl;
	}

	return 0;

}

Cool. Thanks much, maybe now i can finish my DND Tools, I needed this to be able to load races, classes, etc. dynamicaly(sp?) from a folder. Ex. Resources\Races\ would cantain a text file for each race and you could add to and edit them from those files. Want a new race just add in a new file with the races attributes, etc. Any Roleplaying fans?

Just wanted to point out that when you're checking the file attributes, you should say:
if (wfd.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
rather than
if(wfd.dwFileAttributes == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
because fileattributes is a set of flags and may contain the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY flag but not be equal to it.
