Hi Gautam,

You asked for it:

 GL> By any chance is DosFindFirst supposed to return directories upon search?

Yes, it does, no, not immediately. See for yourself:

Compile it with BCC4OS2 1.+

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

#define FILE_BLOK   struct ffblk

main()
{
 FILE_BLOK strukkie;

 if ( findfirst("*.*", &strukkie, FA_DIREC | FA_HIDDEN) == 0
&&   (strukkie.ff_attrib & FA_DIREC ) != 0 )
      printf("Dir: %s\n", strukkie.ff_name);
 else
      return 0;

 while (findnext(&strukkie) == 0 && (strukkie.ff_attrib &
FA_DIREC ) != 0 )
      printf("Dir: %s\n", strukkie.ff_name);

 return 0;

}

The tric is that you have to check whether it's a directory by masking the attribute.


Cu,
 Henk
