If sentence doesn't work.

[rain]

I want list only directories that doesn't have . or .. in they're name. I made if sentence but it still shows me directories that have . and .. in they're name.
How can I hide directories . and ..?

if ((FindFileData.cFileName != ".") || (FindFileData.cFileName != "..")){

here's full code

if ((FindFileData.cFileName != ".") || (FindFileData.cFileName != "..")) This code skips the current directory / parent directory as they're returned by FindFirstFile()/FincNextFile().

You need to check FindFileData.cFileName for the dot. You can use strchr().

I tried it

if (strchr(FindFileData.cFileName,".") == NULL && strchr(FindFileData.cFileName,"..") == NULL){

Causes error on comple.

Sorry, my mistake.

First, a directory that has . or .. in it's name is different from a directoy who's name is . or ..

. is the current directory and .. is the parent directory.

If you want to ignore the current and parent directory in your traversal, you need to use strcmp.

if (strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, ".") == NULL || strchr(FindFileData.cFileName, "..") == NULL)
    continue;

[rain]

I changed ur's if a bit (both are strcmp now)

(strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, ".") == NULL || strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, "..") == NULL)

Now the output is:

File Found: C:\users\rain\.
File Found: C:\users\rain\..

I'm sure you can work out which way to use the if.

[rain]

if (strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, ".") != 0 || strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, "..") != 0)
also returns directories with . and ..

if (strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, ".") == 0 || strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, "..") == 0)
returns directories only with . or ..

if (strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, ".") != NULL || strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, "..") != NULL)
also returns directories with . and ..

if (strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, ".") == NULL || strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, "..") == NULL)
returns directories only with . or ..

Any other ideas?

EDIT:
if (strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, ".") != 0 && strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, "..") != 0) is solution

if (find first on wildcard)
    do
        if (name is .) continue;
        if (name is ..) continue;
        process(name);
    while (find next)
