Searching for Files
An application can search the current directory for all filenames that match a
given pattern by using the
FindFirstFile,
FindFirstFileEx,
FindNextFile, and
FindClose functions. The pattern must be a valid filename and can include wildcard
characters.
The
FindFirstFile and
FindFirstFileEx functions create handles that
FindNextFile uses to search for other files with the same pattern. All functions return
information about the file that was found. This information includes the
filename, size, attributes, and time.
The
FindFirstFileEx function also allows an application to search for files based on additional
search criteria. The function can limit searches to device names or directory
names.
The
FindClose function destroys handles created by
FindFirstFile and
FindFirstFileEx.
An application can search for a single file on a specific path by using the
SearchPath function.
