thanks for the help..i tried this code ..
i cant figure out how am i suppose to give the path,,,
i tried scan_path("C:\\Documents and Settings"); as well as scan_path("C:\\Documents and Settings\\");
but got error bad name...
how should i give the path,
regards

sunnycoder

scan_path("C:\\Documents and Settings"); should have worked fine since trailing \\ is being added by the program

I am not too proficient on win ... but try using FindFirstFile in place of _findfirst

sunnycoder

oh ... it may be the intervening space in Documents and Settings which may be causing the trouble

try creating a directory without spaces in C:\ and test for it ...

if it works fine, then i think escaping space characters will help
