So, here is my problem:
I want to list all files of my main drive for example "C:\"
This could be realized with the FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile()
functions from the WinApi but also need a recursive function calling.
How to realize ?
Code:
scroll down !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also hier mein Problem:
Ich möchte alle Dateien von meiner Hauptfetplatte z.B "C:\"
auflisten. Dies kann mit den FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() Funktionen
aus der WinApi realisiert werden benötigt aber die Verwendung rekursiver
Funktionsaufrufe.
Wie realisisere ich dass ?
Hier ist mein Code:

Code:

---

//Only a example so please don't blame me for syntax errors

#include <acknex.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

/*here I defined the WIN32_FIND_DATA and FILETIME structs furthermore the 
TCHAR definitions*/

char main_str[10000]; //enough space ?

int list_files(char *dir) //for recursion
{
   HANDLE main_handle;
   WIN32_FIND_DATA main_data;
   char path_str[500];

   main_handle = FindFirstFile(dir,&main_data);
   
   while(FindNextFile(main_handle,&main_data))
   {
      switch(main_data.dwFileAttributes)
      {
         case FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY:
            sprintf(main_str,"[dir]");
            sprintf(main_str,main_data.cFileName);
            sprintf(main_str,"\n");
            GetFullPathName(main_data.cFileName,path_str,4096,NULL);
            list_files(path_str);
            break;
         default:
            sprintf(main_str,"[file]");
            sprintf(main_str,main_data.cFileName);
            sprintf(main_str,"\n");
         /*All other switches like FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE,etc.*/
      }
}

int main()
{
   wait(1);
   list_files("C:\\*");
}

---

So far
But at the end the string only contains the files of the
folder given at the first function call ("C:\\*") and the
names of all subdirectories but not their files, so please help me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So weit
Aber der String enthält am Ende nur die Dateien des Verzeichnisses, dass beim
ersten Funktionsaufruf angegeben wurde ("C:\\*") und die Namen der Unter
verzeichnisse aber nicht deren Dateien.

correct start:

Code:

---

if (wfd.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) 
{ 
//////
}
else
{
//file
}

No, switch works, too (for me)(Don't know why but works fine).
Tested with normal Listing.

A big warning: If you ever try to delete a complete folder this way, never, never yes really NEVER use an empty string for char* dir. It will delete your whole disk in less than 1 minute. You won't recognize this (the only thing you see is that the engine is hanging) and the files can't be restored with Recovery Tools (in my case ).

So be very very carful when using the code above for deleting whole folders.

Got it working but my next problem is the using of GetFullPathName.
Example:

I have found a folder on drive C:\ (maybe my_files) the full name should be
C:\my_files but when i use the GetFullPathName i got C:\Dev-Cpp\my_files\
because the test prog. is located in the Dev-Cpp dir.
The problem is it doesn't exist a C:\Dev-Cpp\my_files\ folder, so i can't work
with it.

I hope you can understand my problem

@TripleX maybe this is usefull to write a Virus ^^
