Working with File Extensions.

[jbarrera03]

Hello,
I want to create a program which scans the extensions of files located within its same directory and
arranges them in a newly created folder. I have done something similar with V.B, but I am not too sure
where to start in C++. I have worked with the language and created basic console programs, so I am not
completely C++ illiterate :-) .

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you.

Take a look at FindFirstFile, and FindNextFile.

Also take a look at this FAQ: http://forums.codeguru.com/showthrea...subdirectories.

Thank you for your feedback.

Correct me if I am wrong. The following line

_tprintf(TEXT("Usage: %s [target_file]\n"), argv[0]);

stores the target file name into the argv array?

stores the target file name into the argv array?

No, it is getting it out of there. printf prints, scanf scans.

Well, thank you guys for your help. I have a better understanding on how to use findfirstfile and findfirstfilex , and got a
crash course on support for unicode.
Unfortunately, I think I am over my head, I can follow along the example provided, but I have no idea on where to even
begin coding.
So, time to hit the books a bit more and give this a try on another occasion.
Thanks again for your help.
