Question

How do you get a list of files within a directory so each can be processed?

Answer 1

void getFilesList(String filePath,String extension, vector & returnFileName)
{
    WIN32_FIND_DATA fileInfo;
    HANDLE hFind;   
    String  fullPath = filePath + extension;
    hFind = FindFirstFile(fullPath.c_str(), &fileInfo);
    if (hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE){return;} 
    else {
        return FileName.push_back(filePath+fileInfo.cFileName);
        while (FindNextFile(hFind, &fileInfo) != 0){
            return FileName.push_back(filePath+fileInfo.cFileName);}
        }
 }


 String optfileName ="";        
 String inputFolderPath =""; 
 String extension = "*.jpg*";
 getFilesList(inputFolderPath,extension,filesPaths);
 vector::const_iterator it = filesPaths.begin();
 while( it != filesPaths.end())
 {
    frame = imread(*it);//read file names
            //doyourwork here ( frame );
    sprintf(buf, "%s/Out/%d.jpg", optfileName.c_str(),it->c_str());
    imwrite(buf,frame);   
    it++;
 }
