> What is the best way to get the contents of a file directory into a list? The easiest is if you can use the .NET framework. Then you can use the DirectoryInfo class, which can directly give you an array of contents. with win32 you can use the FindFirstFile/FindNextFile enumeration functions. For MFC CFindFile is maybe a good solution. -- Kind regards, Bruno. bruno_nos_pam_van_dooren@hotmail.com Remove only "_nos_pam"
