    There is, but I don't recommend it.
    It's not that hard to do it in API, and the other way will take a hell lot of time compared to the API way.

    There's a way in FSO but you have to ship DLL's with it so don't bother using it.

    When I try to use that API it gives an error for the
    file name.
    What's wrong?

    When I used that API, the first thing returned was the root directory ".." as the file, this might be causing your error. I had to conditiion for what to do when that was found.



    I hope that helps, or at least was along the right line with your question.
