[SOLVED] How can i access directories in C90 without dirent.h?

How can i access directories in C90 without dirent.h?

i am working in LabCVI on the basis of C90.

The tanks at hand would be to find the absolute paths of "*.spec" files in the "..\data"" directory and subdirectories.

I am aware that there are explanationse how i can do this with dirent.h, but i need to do it without dirent.h. This (part I, part II ) tutorial is not what i am looking for. LabCVI does not feature the dirent header and i cannot import ist from the Internet because the dependencies of dirent.h are incompatible with LabCVI.

I plan to migrate to a better IDE/Language once i killed all dependencies to LabCVI, but i have to keep the code campatible to that day. So i cant use the directory utilities of LabCVI.

How can i work around this and get my directory access? (The Code will run on XP Machines.)

Solution

You can use FindFirstFile and similar functions to do this. Check this sample code for more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365200%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
