Thread: Program does not find any matching file

Hey guys. I want my program to output all the files, in a given folder, that contains a word entered by the user. What the program does, though, is simply output ALL the file names, even though it's obvious that they don't all contain the string since 3 of the files in the directory are images so and 1 of the 3 text files does not contain the word. Can you guys help me ?

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd;
    HANDLE handle = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
    
    std::string path;
    std::cout << "Chemin du fichier: ";
    std::getline(std::cin, path, '\n');
    
    std::string word;
    std::cout << "Mot ou expression: ";
    std::getline(std::cin, word, '\n');
    
    handle = FindFirstFile(path.c_str( ), &wfd);
    do {
                 if(handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) break;
                 if(wfd.dwFileAttributes == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) continue;
                 
                 std::cout << wfd.cFileName;
                 std::ifstream f_handle(wfd.cFileName);
                 if(f_handle.is_open( )) {
                                      std::string temp;
                                      int counter = 1;
                                      while(f_handle.peek() != EOF) {
                                                            std::getline(std::cin, temp, '\n');
                                                            if(temp.find(word.c_str( )) != std::string::npos) {
                                                                                     std::cout << wfd.cFileName << '\t' << counter << std::endl;
                                                                                     break;
                                                            }
                                                            counter++;
                                      }
                                      f_handle.close( );
                 }
    } while(FindNextFile(handle, &wfd) != false);
    
    std::cin.get( );
}

you can do:

Code:

while(std::getline(std::cin, temp))
{
    
}

wihtout all the if (f_handle.is_open()) and the f_handle.peek().. oh, wait, I see what your issue is. you are getting the value of temp from std::cin, you should be passing f_handle to it instead.
