recursive file search

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to work this thing out .. For some reason, it ends at a certain point.. I\'m not very good at recursion and I\'m sure the problem lies somewher

Answer 1

There are still several bugs in your code. Try this instead:

void find_files( wstring wrkdir )
{
    wstring wrkdirtemp = wrkdir;
    if( !wrkdirtemp.empty() && (wrkdirtemp[wrkdirtemp.length()-1] != L'\\')  )
    {
      wrkdirtemp += L"\\";
    }

    WIN32_FIND_DATA file_data = {0};
    HANDLE hFile = FindFirstFile( (wrkdirtemp + L"*").c_str(), &file_data );

    if( hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
    {
         return;
    }

    do
    {
        if( file_data.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY )
        {
            if( (wcscmp(file_data.cFileName, L".") != 0) && 
                (wcscmp(file_data.cFileName, L"..") != 0) )
            {
                find_files( wrkdirtemp + file_data.cFileName );
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if( (file_data.dwFileAttributes & (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN | FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM)) == 0 )
            {
                results << wrkdirtemp << file_data.cFileName << endl;
            }
        }
    }
    while( FindNextFile( hFile, &file_data );

    FindClose( hFile );
}
