I am looking for something that help with my code. I just want to analyse my program files folder on windows and print all of .exe files in this folder. I wrote something but I need some help and after that I'll make the .exe files to button but this is not my challenge right now the first part is my issue :)
int dirListFiles(char* startDir)
{
HANDLE hFind;
WIN32_FIND_DATAA wfd;
char path[MAX_PATH];
sprintf(path, "%s\\*", startDir);
std::string fileName;
std::string s_path = startDir;
std::string fullPath;
fprintf(stdout, "In Directory \"%s\"\n\n", startDir);
if ((hFind = FindFirstFileA(path, &wfd)) == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
printf("FindFirstFIle failed on path = \"%s\"\n", path);
abort();
}
BOOL cont = TRUE;
while (cont == TRUE)
{
if ((strncmp(".", wfd.cFileName, 1) != 0) && (strncmp("..", wfd.cFileName, 2) != 0))
{
if (wfd.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
{
sprintf(path, "%s\\%s", startDir, wfd.cFileName);
dirListFiles(path);
}
else
{
fileName = wfd.cFileName;
fullPath = s_path + "\\" + fileName;
std::string fileExt = PathFindExtensionA(fullPath.c_str()); //the big"A"in PathFindExtensionA is very important :)((()
if (fileExt == ".exe")
{
std::cout << fileExt << std::endl;
}
}
cont = FindNextFileA(hFind, &wfd);
}
FindClose(hFind);
}
}
int main()
{
return 0; //this part is not very important for me right now
}

this is working very well

just don't give a fake negative
test it and the leave command;)
