how do I find a file and return the path in C++

[psnead]

Does anyone know how I can search directories until I find the file I am looking for and then return that file's path in C++?  I looked in direct.h but didn't find anything.

Dear psnead,<br><br>If your working in Win32 look at the API's FindFirstFile() etc. If your woring with MFC check out the class CFileFind.<br><br>Good luck<br>-pete

Does any one know how to do this in the console? ie NO windows support. Is it possible? Thanks

yes, #include<windows.h> and go on with FindFirstFile/FindNextFile John Fill

With CFileFind you can do it. If you want the code i used to traverse directories post your email
