Api error (vlatko, please read this) yes you to parksie & dennis!

Hey peeps, I have a q...

I'm trying to convert a function I wrote in VB (yesss the one Vlatko has converted too, that was mine ;))

I was just beginning and was bouncing on an error already :(

Code:

---

void GetAllDirs(char cDirIn[256])
{
char d[256];
bool dr, dts;
long File;
int c;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FindData;

File = FindFirstFile(lstrcat(cDirIn, "*"), FindData);
if (File = -1) cout << "****!";
}

---

I'm getting this error

Code:

---

--------------------Configuration: ROKv2 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
main.cpp
C:\Jop\Vc++\ROKv2\main.cpp(21) : error C2664: 'FindFirstFileA' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'struct _WIN32_FIND_DATAA' to 'struct _WIN32_FIND_DATAA *'
        No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
Error executing cl.exe.

ROKv2.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

---

I've included windows.h & iostream.h, so the functions can be called :(

As you might notice I'm really new in C++ so please help me ;)
thanx.

Oh vlatko, can you please give me the converted code (the Function I gave you (the GetAllDirs from my file module))

Thanks guys!
You translated it right?

(Editing)
By the way, here's the VB code for my function:

Code:

---


Public Sub GetAllFiles(startdir As String, Lst As ListBox)
Dim d$, dr As Boolean, dts As Boolean, dirs() As String
Dim FindData As WIN32_FIND_DATA, c%, File&
If Right(startdir, 1) <> "\" Then startdir = startdir & "\"
   
ReDim dirs(0)
File = FindFirstFile(startdir & "*", FindData)
c = 1

Do While c

  c = FindNextFile(File, FindData)
    d = StripNulls(FindData.cFileName)
dts = d <> "." And d <> ".." And Len(d) > 0
    If dts Then dr = (GetFileAttributes(startdir & d) And FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
       
        If dr = False And dts Then Lst.AddItem startdir & d 'add to list
           
            If dr And dts Then
                ReDim Preserve dirs(UBound(dirs) + 1)
                dirs(UBound(dirs)) = d
            End If
           
Loop

Dim x&
FindClose File
For x = 1 To UBound(dirs)
    GetAllFiles startdir & dirs(x), Lst
Next x
End Sub

Thanx :)

Never mind guys, I got it to work *thanx to chris!*

Here's the code that worked for me! ;)

Code:

---

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400
#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Construction/Destruction
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


void GetAllDirs(char cDirIn[256])
{
char d[256];
bool dr, dts;
HANDLE File;
long lAtt;
int c;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FindData;

File = FindFirstFile(lstrcat(cDirIn, "*"), &FindData);
if (File == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
        cout << "****!";
}

Vlatko, I still like to receive my code (translated to C++)

thanks.

You don't have to use the stripnulls function in C++. I didn't. Here is the code , it is a little changed (mixed up) and with some new lines of code. You may find it different because it uses MFC(CString). Should be no problem not to use char.

Code:

---

//in header CString dd = "" and CString tt="";
void CAllDlg::car1(CString dir)
{
vector<CString> vec;
WIN32_FIND_DATA finddata;
HANDLE file;
file = FindFirstFile(dir + "*",&finddata);
int c = 1;
int i = 0;
BOOL dts,dr;
do
{
c = FindNextFile(file,&finddata);
CString d = finddata.cFileName ;
dts = (d != "." && d != ".." &&  strlen(d) > 0);


dr = ((GetFileAttributes(dir + d) & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY);

if(dts == TRUE)
{
        if(dr == FALSE)
        {
                if(dd != (dir+d))
                {
                l1.AddString (dir + d);
                dd = (dir+d);
                }
        }
        else if(dr == TRUE)
        {
               
                if(tt != d)
                {
        vec.push_back (d);
                tt = d;
                }
        }
}
}while(c != 0);
FindClose(file);
long ff = vec.size ();

for(int x= 0;x<ff;++x)

car1(dir + vec.at (x) + "\\");

}

Nevermind ,i will send you the project.

Thanks vlatko, 'cause it was really driving me crazy :)

After your request on ICQ earlier, here's a non-MFC version:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

void DoFiles(string sRootPath, vector<string> &vsFileList) {
        WIN32_FIND_DATA fndFiles;
        HANDLE hSearch;

        hSearch = FindFirstFile((sRootPath + "*").c_str(), &fndFiles);
        // Ignores ".", so does not print first file found

        while(FindNextFile(hSearch, &fndFiles)) {
                // Do not accept ".." either
                if(!strcmp(fndFiles.cFileName, "..")) continue;

                // Add complete file & path to list
                vsFileList.push_back(sRootPath + fndFiles.cFileName);

                if(GetFileAttributes((sRootPath + fndFiles.cFileName).c_str()) & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) {
                        // It's a directory, so call this function again
                        DoFiles(sRootPath + fndFiles.cFileName + "\\", vsFileList);
                }
        }

        FindClose(hSearch);
}

void main(int argc, char **argv) {
        if(argc < 2) {
                cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <path>\n";
                return;
        }

        vector<string> vsFiles;
        DoFiles(argv[1], vsFiles);

        for(int i = 0; i < vsFiles.size(); i++) {
                cout << vsFiles[i] << endl;
        }
}

Wooh thankssssss parksie!! it's working now :)
