Directory Listing
Author
I'm trying to find a way to get a directory listing in C/C++. I can't find anything, even in MSDN, but it must be possible. Basically, something that returns a list of pointers to file handles, or something. TIA.
Ah i posted this a while back on a related thread, you might be interested.
if you need something cross-platform you might wont to check out boost::filesystem
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN//the define below is important you must have it#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400#include <windows.h>#include <cstdlib>#include <string>#include <list>#include <algorithm>#include <iterator>#include <iostream>bool enumerate_dir(const std::string& dir, std::list<std::string>&);int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if(argc == 1) { std::cerr << argv[0] << " error usage: " << argv[0] << " <name-of-directory>\n"; return EXIT_FAILURE; } std::list<std::string> dir_list; if(enumerate_dir(argv[1], dir_list)) std::copy(dir_list.begin(), dir_list.end(), std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, ", ")); else std::cerr << "No such Directory, please try again.."; return EXIT_SUCCESS;}bool enumerate_dir(const std::string& dir, std::list<std::string>& l) { WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData; HANDLE hFind; hFind = FindFirstFileEx(dir.c_str(), FindExInfoStandard, &FindFileData, FindExSearchNameMatch, 0, 0); if(hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) return false; FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData); while(GetLastError() != ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES) { FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData); l.push_back(FindFileData.cFileName); } return true;}if you need something cross-platform you might wont to check out boost::filesystem
