search for file function

i have the code that will search for a file, but i don't want it to search in only 1 directory, i want it to search through the entire computer.

anyone have any code?

Log C: and every time the FindFirst/Next returns a directory, so search that, you could write a recursive searcher to do so, i.e. search C: if the first it finds is a directory called Alpha, so search c:\Alpha and so on.

If you don't know how to detect if a file is a directory or not, part 3 of my searching tutorial covers it.

okay thanks. heres what i have so far

Code:

---

WIN32_FIND_DATA FileData;
        HANDLE hSearch;
        DWORD dwAttrs;
        char szDirPath[] = "c:\\TEXTRO\\";
        char szNewPath[MAX_PATH];
        char szHome[MAX_PATH];
       
        BOOL fFinished = FALSE;
       
        hSearch = FindFirstFile("C:\\*.*", &FileData);
        if (hSearch == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
        {
                cout<<"no files found";
                return;
        }
               
        while (!fFinished)
        {

                cout<< FileData.cFileName<<endl;

               

                if (!FindNextFile(hSearch, &FileData))
                {
                        if (GetLastError() == ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES)
                        {
                                cout<<"no more files\n";
                                fFinished = TRUE;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                cout<<"couldnt find next file";
                                return;
                        }
                }
        }
                 
        FindClose(hSearch);
