how to make a filename an array

[nbgoku]

im trying to obtain a files name, and then make it into an array

CFileFind finder;
BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile("C:\\*.mp3");
while (bWorking)
{
bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();
CString a = finder.GetFileName();
for(int n=0;n<=40;n++)
{
MessageBox(a[n]);
}

}


this doesnt work though, any ideas? also, notice that i said n<=40, but is there a way to get the size of a so i know what to say for n<= ?

the point of the file is the send a message representing each part (character,number,period,etc...) of the file name

You can use a CString as a character array - it obviously has the [] operator overloaded. I guess I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to put all of the files into an array of CStrings? CString also has a GetLength() method that you could use in place of 40, though that's probably still not going to do what you are trying to get.

oh nice im gonna try the getlength()

what im trying to do is obtain the name of the first file, then spell out the first file letter by letter using MessageBox(), it seems wierd but im really interested in it at the moment
