How should I go about searching for different files in a directory, such as all files of one extension, without user input? |

Thanks. Just one last question: with for_each_file_ex, is it possible to limit it to one directory, such as the same one as the .exe? |

Yes. It doesn't recurse into subdirectories in the first place. -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Ok. Thanks. So, to find .sav files in a folder named SAVES in the directory as my game, I would do this: for_each_file_ex("SAVES//*.sav", ..., my_callback, ...); ? |

Quote: for_each_file_ex("SAVES//*.sav", ..., my_callback, ...); Yes, except that you would specify the directory as "SAVES/*.sav" (or under DOS/Windows "SAVES\*.sav").

Oh. Yeah, I use windows and forgot which way the slashes went. Thanks for the help! |

You might as well use /. It's more readable IMO because it doesn't require escaping, and it is cross-platform (unlike \). |

'\\' is for windows. I don't think '/' works on windows though. |
