Selecting random file recursively

I'm looking for a function that would randomly select a file from a certain directory, and its subdirectories. Or, explained how to do this.

You can achieve your goal by using FindFirstFile Function described in the following link.

I built you something to give you a roll.

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
  WIN32_FIND_DATA files;
  HANDLE handle = FindFirstFile("./*", &files);

  if(handle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
  {
    do
    {
      cout <<files.cFileName<<endl;
    } while(FindNextFile(handle, &files));
  }

  return 0;
}

All you need now, is to put the result in an array and drill one using your favorite random function.

Hope it helps
