Sample code for finding and copying files. 1

[bigred925]

I have been giving a mirgration project and have no experience with C++. This program has to find all the Word and excel docs and transfer them to another pc. Does anyone have any ideas or know of a good place to get info on this.

Thanks

check MSDN runtime library reference about "directory control", "file handling routines" and "system call" etc, you can get information about how to handle a drive, directory , how to "findfirst" and findnext" file

void traverse()
{
CFileFind finder;
BOOL bFilesExist = finder.FindFile("*.doc"

while(bFilesExist)
{
bFilesExist = finder.FindNextFile();

if(finder.IsDirectory())
continue;

// pseudo - code
Copy finder.GetFileName() to New Place
}

BOOL bWorking - finder.FindFile("*.*"

while(bWorking)
{
bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();

if(finder.GetFileName() != ".." &&
finder.GetFIleName() != ".&quot
{
if(finder.IsDirectory())
{
chdir( (LPCTSTR)(finder.GetFileName());
traverse();
}
}
}
chdir(".."
}

all this program needs is to be started in the directory you want it to run or to call "ChangeDirectory" or chdir before calling the function. I am pretty sure this will do the trick for you
