getting contents from drive letter

Hi all,
is it possible to get the contents of a drive i.e the list of all files and folders inside the drive ?

i have the drive letter with me.
so please can i get some help to get all the contents inside the drive ???

Thank You

Have a look at CFileFind class and its methods.

if there are any folders in the directory, how would you seek them?
please do have a proper look at the question which says i want to list all the contents of a drive ??

all the members also need a destination ?? without enumerating the contents how would we pass the contents to CFindFIle class?

Please do have a proper look at the documentation of CFileFind class and its methods in MSDN. :cool:

And you cannot "pass the contents" "without enumerating".
See the example in CFileFind::IsDirectory

A quick and dirty method (not necessarily recommended therefore) to get all files and folders of a drive is to using the dir /s command of the Windows command interpreter cmd and redirect the output of that command to a file.

Code:

---

// assume the drive letter is x
system("dir /s /b x:\*.* > xxx.txt");
std::ifstream xxx("xxx.txt");
if (xxx)
{
    std::string line;
    while (getline(xxx, line))
          std::cout << line << std::endl;
    xxx.close();
    remove("xxx.txt"); 
}
