Re: FindFirstFile??

 From the Win32 Reference helpfile that was shipped with your copy of 
CBuilder...

Handle FindFIrstFile(
 LPCTSTR lpFileName,
 LPWIN32_FIND_DATA lpFindFileData
);

lpFileName - points to null-terminated string specifying a valid 
directory or path and filename which can contain wildcard characters
(* and ?)
NOTE: This means you need to supply "C:\windows\*.pwl" as the lpFileName 
      parameter.

lpFileFindData - points to the WIN32_FIND_DATA structure that receives 
information about the found file or subdirectory.
NOTE: This means you need to declare a structure
      WIN32_FIND_DATA fileFound;
      and pass &fileFound as the 2nd parameter to the function call.

HANDLE - if function succeeds it returns a handle that is used during 
calls to FindNextFile or FindClose.  If it fails the function call 
returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.

Soooooo. just taking about 30 seconds to look at the helpfile, you need 
to code the following:

AnsiString searchString = "C:\windows\*.pwl";
WIN32_FIND_DATA fileFound;
HANDLE searchHandle;
searchHandle=FindFirstFile(searchString.c_str(),&fileFound);
if(searchHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
  // loop to process and call FindNextFile here
}

FindNextFile is quite simple and only requires a single loop to process 
until it returns zero (indicating failure).  The WIN32_FIND_DATA 
documentation will tell you what sort of information is available when 
the search is successful, but you'll have to read it for yourself.  I 
think I've violated enough of Microsoft's copyright for one post.
