Here's an example of file search using the dirent.h, it works well. Way faster then the built in Windows 7 search... I was impressed and found this on accident.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <time.h>
int FileSearch(char* szPath, char* szSearch);
int main( int argc, char* argv[])
{
clock_t b, s;
b=clock();
if (argc != 3) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: FileSearch <directory> <search/term>\r\n");
}
FileSearch(argv[1], argv[2]);
s=clock();
printf("Elapsed: %f seconds\n", (double)(s - b) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
return 0;
}
int FileSearch(char* szPath, char* szSearch)
{
struct dirent* entry;
char szBuffer[260];
DIR *dir;
if ((dir = opendir(szPath)) == NULL) {
return 1;
}
while ((entry = readdir(dir)))
{
if (strcmp(entry->d_name, ".") != 0 && strcmp(entry->d_name, "..") != 0)
{
sprintf_s(szBuffer, sizeof(szBuffer), "%s%s", szPath, entry->d_name);
if (S_ISDIR(entry->d_type)) {
strcat_s(szBuffer, "\\");
FileSearch(szBuffer, szSearch);
}
if (strstr(entry->d_name, szSearch)) {
printf("Found match: %s\r\n", szBuffer);
}
}
}
closedir(dir);
return 0;
}
