Directory access

[web02]

Hi y'all,

It has been a long time and suddenly, I have a VC98 compiler with which I
need to determine all the files in a directory and its subdirectories. I
forget the functions available for doing this. I keep tripping over .NET in
WEB searches. Can anyone provide me with a list of the functions to perform
this.

Thanx,
Bill

It's offtopic here, but if you ask about FindFirstFile, FindNextFile
and FindClose someplace like comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, they
should be able to get you started in the right direction.

Boost's file system library has a C++ way to access the files in a
directory, i.e. a proper iterator for the directory entries. This
library was proposed for inclusion in the C++ committee's TR2
(the second technical report on standard C++ library extensions)
and thus has a fair chance to become part of standard C++ at some
point in the future.
