Worked, then made it a function: Console
Ok, i used demo code someone gave me in the main and it worked. It searched for mp3 files fine, and listed them as well as how many. Then i made the code its own function, and called that function in main. I know its something i did wrong, the code is below, and at the bottom of the code is the output commented off within the program. I have included all of the code, so u can see how i called it and whats going on.
Code:
/* Steven Billington - not original author

Main.cpp
Program searches the given directory for any
file ending in the .mp3 extension. It will not
check to ensure these are genuine mp3 files,
it will just report them as such based on the
files extension. If you save a text document
with a .mp3 extension, for example, it will
recognize this as a mp3 file in its search.
See readme for details.
