    File Index issue

    Hi,

    I wrote this little function to grab files inside a folder. However, although it compiles fine, the program crashes on starting (Segmentation fault?):

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <windows.h> 
    #include <fstream>
    #include <vector>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    void grabFiles(char* root, vector<string> &endList); //Grabs files, and dumps them into vector.
    
    void grabFiles(char* root, vector<string> &endList)
    {
    	vector< WIN32_FIND_DATA > tmpFiles;
    	HANDLE h;
    	int i;
    	WIN32_FIND_DATA tmpFile;
    	
      // build a list of files
      h = FindFirstFile("*.*", &tmpFile);
      tmpFiles.push_back(tmpFile);
      if (h != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
      {
        do
        {
          if (!(strcmp(tmpFile.cFileName, ".") == 0 || strcmp(tmpFile.cFileName, "..") == 0))
          {
            tmpFiles.push_back(tmpFile);
          }
        } while (FindNextFile(h, &tmpFile));
        if (GetLastError() != ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES) exit(-1);
        FindClose(h);
      }
      
      for(int x=0; x < tmpFiles.size(); x++)
      {
    		endList.push_back(tmpFiles[i].cFileName);
    	}
      
    }
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    	vector<string> theLists;
        grabFiles(".", theLists); 
        
        for(int e=0; e<theLists.size(); e++)
        {
    		cout<<theLists[e]<<"\n\n";
    	}
    	cin.get();
      return(0);
    }

    I think instead of

    Code:
    int i;
    . . .
    for(int x=0; x < tmpFiles.size(); x++)
    {
        endList.push_back(tmpFiles[i].cFileName);
    }
    you should have

    Code:
    for(int x=0; x < tmpFiles.size(); x++)
    {
        endList.push_back(tmpFiles[x].cFileName);
    }
    I hope this helps.
