writing files to txtfile

Code:

---


#define MAX_PATH 256;

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>


void dir(char *path);

int main()
{
dir("\\");
        return 0;
}

void dir(char *path)
{
        FILE *fp;
        char dirname[MAX_PATH];
        HANDLE fhwnd;
        WIN32_FIND_DATA WFD;


        SetCurrentDirectory(path);

        fhwnd = FindFirstFile("*.*", &WFD);

        fp = fopen("C:/Matt/files2.doc","w");

        while(FindNextFile(fhwnd,&WFD))
        {
                if(
                        (WFD.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) && (strcmp(WFD.cFileName, "..") && strcmp(WFD.cFileName, "."))
                        )
                {
                        GetCurrentDirectory(MAX_PATH,dirname);
                        if(strncmp(&dirname[strlen(dirname) - 1], "\\", 1)){
                                strcat(dirname, "\\");
                        }

                        strcat(dirname, WFD.cFileName);
                        cout << dirname;
                        fprintf(fp,dirname);
                        fprintf(fp, "\n");
                        cout << endl;
                        dir(dirname);
                }

        }

        FindClose(fhwnd);
        fclose(fp);
}

I cannot see all the results when this finds all the files in the console window. So I made it write it to a file but it only writes a couple on the file path's. Why is it only printing a few?? Thanks

This line is goofing the code up:

Code:

---

dir(dirname);

---

This line calls the dir function again (calls itself) and so it reopens the file that you are writing to again.

Code:

---

fp = fopen("C:/Matt/files2.doc","w");

---

Does that help?

The if statement checks to see weather its a directory. If so then call the function with that directory.

problem solved thanks!
