writing files to txtfile

#define MAX_PATH 256;

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.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:

dir(dirname);

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

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.
