getwd and dirent->d_name

Hi Everyone:

This problem is puzzling me if I use this code which includes getwd:

Code:

---

while (1) {
                dirslot=readdir(dir);
               
               
                if (dirslot==NULL) return;
                if (strcmp(dirslot->d_name, ".")==0) ||(strcmp(dirslot->d_name, "..")==0) continue;
                stat(dirslot->d_name, &statbuff);
                if (S_ISDIR(statbuff.st_mode))  {
                               
                                if (getwd(pathname) == NULL )
                                                { printf("Error getting path\n");
                                                                exit(0);
                                                }
                                printf("\n\n %s\n",pathname);
                                       
                          printf("______________________________________\n");
                                                if (chdir(dirslot->d_name)==-1) {
                                                perror("FAIL: Change Directory");
                                                return;}       
                        recls(".");
                        chdir("..");
                        }
                }
        closedir(dir);
        }

---

It will display the full filepath of directories and directories within directories but not the next level down e.g dir----dir-----dir(no display), if you understand what I mean. But if I use this code:

Code:

---


while (1) {
                dirslot=readdir(dir);
               
               
                if (dirslot==NULL) return;
                if (strcmp(dirslot->d_name, ".")==0) ||(strcmp(dirslot->d_name, "..")==0) continue;
                stat(dirslot->d_name, &statbuff);
                if (S_ISDIR(statbuff.st_mode))  {
                                printf("\n\n %s\n",dirslot_d_name)
                                        printf("______________________________________\n");
                                                if (chdir(dirslot->d_name)==-1) {
                                                perror("FAIL: Change Directory");
                                                return;}       
                        recls(".");
                        chdir("..");
                        }
                }
        closedir(dir);
        }

---

It will print out the full directory structure but only the directory names which is not what I want.

My Question is, can anybody suggest where Im going wrong with the getcw directory code and how can I fix it so that it will display all directory paths

Please dont flame my code, I know theres not to many error catchment statements but I am fairly new to this C coding.

Thanks for any help.

I have no idea why you see the differences you describe in directory traversal but the recls() doesn't make sense to me. Try replacing it with a recursive call to your function. As for flaming your code, that is my prerogative: indent carefully and don't mix spaces and tabs. Give that a try and if it doesn't work one of the eunuchs here will probably help you. (This must be their day off.)
