Help with MSDN coding please!

[vbzero]

Hi there! I've got a problem. The following lines
will show you a sample part of a MSDN libary code:

Public Const MAX_PATH = 260
Public Const MAXDWORD = &HFFFF
Public Const INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE = -1
Public Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE = &H20
Public Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY = &H10
Public Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN = &H2
Public Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL = &H80
Public Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY = &H1
Public Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM = &H4
Public Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY = &H100

Type FILETIME
dwLowDateTime As Long
dwHighDateTime As Long
End Type

Type WIN32_FIND_DATA
dwFileAttributes As Long
ftCreationTime As FILETIME
ftLastAccessTime As FILETIME
ftLastWriteTime As FILETIME
nFileSizeHigh As Long
nFileSizeLow As Long
dwReserved0 As Long
dwReserved1 As Long
cFileName As String * MAX_PATH
cAlternate As String * 14
End Type

Function FindFilesAPI(strPath As String, SearchStr As String, _
FileCount As Integer, DirCount As Integer)
On Error Resume Next
Dim FileName As String
Dim DirName As String
Dim DirNames() As String
Dim nDir As Integer
Dim hSearch As Long
Dim i As Integer
Dim WFD As WIN32_FIND_DATA
Dim Cont As Integer
Dim ErrorCount As Integer
If Right(strPath, 1) <> "\" Then strPath = strPath & "\"
nDir = 0
ReDim DirNames(nDir)
Cont = True
hSearch = FindFirstFile(strPath & "*", WFD)
If hSearch <> INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE Then
Do While Cont
DirName = StripNulls(WFD.cFileName)
If (DirName <> ".") And (DirName <> "..") Then
If GetFileAttributes(strPath & DirName) And _
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY Then
DirNames(nDir) = DirName
DirCount = DirCount + 1
nDir = nDir + 1
ReDim Preserve DirNames(nDir)
End If
End If
Cont = FindNextFile(hSearch, WFD)
Loop
Cont = FindClose(hSearch)
End If
hSearch = FindFirstFile(strPath & SearchStr, WFD)
Cont = True
If hSearch <> INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE Then
While Cont
FileName = StripNulls(WFD.cFileName)
If (FileName <> ".") And (FileName <> "..") And _
((GetFileAttributes(strPath & FileName) And Not _
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)) Then
FindFilesAPI = FindFilesAPI + (WFD.nFileSizeHigh * _
MAXDWORD) + WFD.nFileSizeLow
FileCount = FileCount + 1
Call NameMp3(FileName, strPath) 'This is a own defined function
End If
Cont = FindNextFile(hSearch, WFD)
Wend
Cont = FindClose(hSearch)
End If
If nDir > 0 Then
For i = 0 To nDir - 1
FindFilesAPI = FindFilesAPI + FindFilesAPI(strPath & DirNames(i) _
& "\", SearchStr, FileCount, DirCount)
Next i
End If
End Function

---- There are 3 elements in the WIN32_FIND_DATA type:

ftCreationTime As FILETIME
ftLastAccessTime As FILETIME
ftLastWriteTime As FILETIME

I don't want to have that elements in that type.
If I remove this part of code, the FILETIME type
is also not needed any more.

But when I do this, the function will return something
about 207 file(s) found in 58 directories or something
like that.

I also removed this part:

FindFilesAPI = FindFilesAPI + (WFD.nFileSizeHigh * _
MAXDWORD) + WFD.nFileSizeLow
----
This sample function allows you t o search for
files in a directory and in its subdirectories.

The original code also counted the bytes of the files
and the time when they were created.

I don't need that to be in this code.

Any suggestions how to make a nice function for that?

thx, vbzero

Sorry - if you're wondering where is the function for
StripNulls... here it is:

Public Function StripNulls(OriginalStr As String) As String
On Error Resume Next
If (InStr(OriginalStr, Chr(0)) > 0) Then
OriginalStr = Left(OriginalStr, _
InStr(OriginalStr, Chr(0)) - 1)
End If
StripNulls = OriginalStr
End Function
