searching directories in windows
Author
how do you search a specified directory in windows32 ? is there a function that returns how many files and a list of their names or something similar ? i can''t find it anywhere in the documentation. thanks..
For Win32 stuff it''s always good to have a look at MSDN.

I''m sorry, I would help you but I''m not a Win32 programmer. I don''t know anything about the different data types and so forth.
You''ll have to find someone who is a Win32 programmer. Anyone? [ Google || Start Here || ACCU || MSDN || STL || GameCoding || BarrysWorld || E-Mail Me ]
Slightly adapted from MSDN....
