Use char in FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() ?

[dynamiclc]

Previous I use wchar_t because I'm using FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() for searching all the files under the given data folder SStress_Corpus. Their MSDN pages are:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364418(v=vs.85).aspx

As their descriptions said, their parameter 1 should be the type of LPCTSTR, that is wchar_t.

HANDLE WINAPI FindFirstFile(
__in LPCTSTR lpFileName,
__out LPWIN32_FIND_DATA lpFindFileData
);

BOOL WINAPI FindNextFile(
__in HANDLE hFindFile,
__out LPWIN32_FIND_DATA lpFindFileData
);

But I want to avoid using wchar_t type because it's so inconvenient when elsewhere I use char. So I want to use char in all places.

Then how can I use the type of char instead of wchar_t in the function FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile()?

Goto project properties->Configuration Properties->General, select Character Set. Change "Use Unicode Character Set" to "Use Multi-Byte Character Set" or "Not Set". Then you can use char for FindFirstFile. Otherwise directly use FindFirstFileA() and FindNextFileA to use ANSI version of those functions.

Good Luck.
