Hello. Can someone please post the code/functions I need in order to loop through all the files in a directory? The directory is specified as a pathname (c:/directory), and I would like to be able to loop through the files it contains, and construct "FILE" objects for them (they will be converted to CFile objects later, so if there is a more direct route, that would be good too). thanks for your help.

Check and see if the functions: opendir(), readdir() and closedir() or findfirst() and findnext() exist in your compiler (none of them are ANSI compatible you see). If they exist, you can use them to get a directory listing (remember that the first two files in any directory are "." and "..").

They are POSIX 1003.1 compatibile, and this is "quite" enough to guess that most current C/C++ compilers support them.
