How to write the code to list all of files and directories in a driver

[hungnguyen]

Hi all,

I have a question. How to write a code to list all of files and sub-foles in a driver. Like in DOS OS, from C:\ prompt, type DIR, the result will list all files and folders in C driver. How can I implement this code??
Please help.
Thanks
Hung

Hi

You have to use the class CFileFind.
The first parameter of the function FindFIle is the root directory of your search. You put what you want but don't forget the double \ if you hardcode the path.

CFileFind finder;

if ( finder.FindFile( "c:\\*.*&quot)
{

while ( finder.FindNextFile())
{
if ( finder.IsDirectory())
m_List.AddString( "Dir " + finder.GetFilePath());
else if ( finder.IsDots())
m_List.AddString( "Dots ..."
else if ( finder.IsSystem())
m_List.AddString( "Sys " + finder.GetFilePath());
else
m_List.AddString( "File " + finder.GetFilePath());
}
}

Here is something that u can do w/o using MFC or FindFileFirst
//***** START OF UR PROGRAM *****
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <iostream.h>
//main(int argc, char *argv[]) -- original
int main()
{
char *instruction;
char path[50], filename[15];

//long *instruction;
cout << &quot;Enter Drive or path that you want (ie. c: or c:\\mypath):\t&quot;;
cin >> path;
cout <<&quot;File name (ie. myfile.txt)\t&quot;;
cin >> filename;
cout <<&quot;\n&quot;;
if (path== NULL || filename == NULL)
{
printf(&quot;\nYou miss path or filename\n\n&quot;
printf(&quot; Drive/Path it is the drive/path in which you want\n&quot;
printf(&quot;to search for your file or directory.\n&quot;
printf(&quot; filename : it is the name of the file (or part of\n&quot;
printf(&quot;the name) or of the directory that you\n&quot;
printf(&quot;are searching for.\n\n&quot;
return -1;
}
instruction = (char *)calloc(101, sizeof(char));
strcat(instruction, &quot;dir &quot;
strcat(instruction, path);
strcat(instruction, &quot;\\&quot;
strcat(instruction, filename);
strcat(instruction, &quot; /s /l /b > outdir.txt&quot; // dd
printf(&quot;%s \n&quot;, instruction);
system(instruction);
return 0;
}
//****END OF UR PROGRAM
Let me know if u have any issue
Hope this helps

I forgot that the result will be stored in the outdir.txt file. You can display it in the prompt by eliminate the &quot;>outdir.txt &quot; in the line that has comment &quot;//dd&quot;

Hope this helps
