CODE

HANDLE hFind;
WIN32_FIND_DATA oFind;

hFind = FindFirstFile("yourdirpath\*.*", &oFind);

if(hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALE)
{
do
{
// you can get filename and attributes of files using the oFind object
// e.g. filename would be oFind.cFilename
// so here you can do whatever you need to do with them
}while(FindNextFile(hFind, &oFind));
}

Some of those parameters/syntax might not be exact. But it'll be along those lines. Checkout those function names in help for more details.

Hope that helps

CODE

   WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd;
   HANDLE s = FindFirstFile(argc[0], &wfd);

   if(s == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
   {
cout << "DIDNT WORK!";
return 0x01;
   }
   else
   {
cout << "DID WORK!!";
return 0x02;
   }

   FineClose(s);

and i'd use the findnextfile func to find the rest of the stuff, but i want a way to do it with the standard libs, so i could port it to the xbox, and try to port it to other systems, (and cuz i dont wanna include windows.h

)

*edit* anyone know some good c++/windows programming forums? i dont wanna post stuff that noone is interested here.

The code Carch posted would work on the Xbox and to use it you only need to include xtl.h as usual. Maybe you could do this with SDL I don't know.

@ wishi:
ok, thanks for the info. i havent bothered to relocate the xdk after my last hd crash so i was unable to look up this info in the help file.

@all:
i'll just stick with this code for now, i'm just trying to get an alpha build to work thats functional so i can always improve it from there. later!

It is a Win32 function I know, however it's on Xbox also which I mentioned since this is a development forum for Xbox. It obviously would not be portable to other platforms since it uses the structure WIN32_FIND_DATA.

Dirent isn't in the XDK.

But I have seen a port of it to Win32 that should work.

I can't remember where I saw it though - am sure google will be able to help.
