Accessing All Files in a given Directory...

[onrdbandit]

Howdy,

I am attempting to start an application to do batch type operations to files. I want to be able to process any file in a given directory, but I can't find any methods to get a list of files in a directory, or to step through the files in a directory.

I want to avoid having to select files individually as these processes will be done on hundreds of files. (that would essentially defeat the purpose)

Any suggestions would be welcomed...

Thanks,
onrdbandit

Look at FindFirst() and FindNext(), they should do what You need.

Have fun!

If you are using Borland .. I use this method.

In the Win 3.1 tab there is a control called FileListBox, give it a directory and a file mask and use the Update() method . FileListBox->Items is a stringlist of files in that directory!

Plus if it's a batch program with no form . You can instantiate FileListBox at runtime.

You can also use FindFirstFile,FindNextFile and FindFirstFileEx.
Good luck!!
