well i have to do a task asking me to list all the folders and subfolders in the whole hard disk....for examble list all files in c and D and E etc

[ResidentBiscuit]

Ok and what's the issue? Have you even wrote down anything yet?

[moro01011]

nothing so far..as i have no refrences to go to..its kind of project to do something we havent learned b4 just to see how we searh and understand another codes

[ResidentBiscuit]

Well, you'll need to check out the Win32 API for this. C++ itself doesn't know anything about file systems.

[moro01011]

can it be done on c++ or any other language? except c #.....if any ideas ...would be great

[ResidentBiscuit]

I'm sure there are libraries that will wrap this into C++, but at it's core this is a C problem. You can use l of Win32 in a C++ program though as C++ fully supports C. Win32 is written in C in case you didn't know.

boost should be able to do this

[ResidentBiscuit]

I haven't ever used Boost myself, though I hear it does have a great file system wrapper. But I also hear it is quite the pain to set up and would very well have a lot of unneeded stuff for this task.
