  12. OK.... I had been interested in such a file search program too.... This
  13. example is found in the THELP program which is supplied with Turbo C:
  14.  
  15. #include "c:\borland\include\dir.h"
  16. #include "c:\borland\include\stdio.h"
  17.  
  18. void main()
  19. {
  20. struct ffblk ffblk;
  21. int done;
  22.  
  23. done = findfirst("*.*", &ffblk, 0);
  24. while(!done)
  25.   {
  26.   printf("%s\n", ffblk.ff_name);
  27.   done = findnext(&ffblk);
  28.   }
  29. }
  30.  
  31. That should do it for ya dude.... the findfirst command is the one you will
  32. use... allong with the findnext command.  Hope that helps ya out....
