Is there any way to find what subdirectories a directory has?

the typical way is findfirst() findnext().

_findfirst():

_findnext():

_finddata_t + example of use:

BTW: it doesnt use the _A_SUBDIR flag, but it shouldn't be to hard from here.

Use FindFirstFile

Code:

HANDLE hSearch;
WIN32_FIND_DATA  fd;
hSearch = FindFirstFile("C:\\", &fd);

Then use FindNextFile to loop & continue searching the current directory

Code:

FindNextFile(hSearch, &fd);

Each time, examine the fd struct
if(fd->dwFileAttributes == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
then it's a directory
