Recursive Directory Scan

Post by FlyingIsFun1217 »

Hey!

For my newest app, I need to recursively scan a directory for files of a certain type (determined by the file extension). Thing is, what I want to do, is to scan through a main directory, find the contents, if any of them are directories, scan those too, and keep going until all of the directories are scanned.

What classes should I be looking into for this?

Thanks!

wxDir has a few functions that will work GetFirst(), GetNext(), and also Traverse().

The wxDir page has a sample using GetFirst() and GetNext(). The wxDirTraverser page has a sample using Traverse(). GetFirst(), GetNext() is probably simpler.
