The server is written partially in Visual Basic, partially in C++.

While I could look into changing the temp file names to be unique then deleting them afterward, I would much rather just learn to do it the right way. It'd do me some good for the future to do so.

What library are these in and how are they used? I may try them.

Hi,

I was wondering. Has anyone used FindFirstFile where FindFirstFile returns extra files that aren't part of the search string?

I wrote a C/C++ console program that prompts for a search string and a path.

I enter "*bc*" as the search string without the quotes then enter the path as "C:\".

FindFirstFile returns many files that contain the letters "bc" but also returns 5 or 6 files that no letters of "bc" in them.

I've been searching through the net to see if anyone has encountered this problem but to no avail.

Could you post the source or at least that part of the source that creates your problem?

Hi,

The program is a console application. When the application is run, it will prompt

Enter search string:

To cause this problem, I enter bc

Then, the application will ask you to enter a search path, like so..

Enter search path:

Enter c:\ . The backslash is needed.

The program will pass c:\*bc* to the FindFirstFile function call. It appends the asterisks prior to calling FindFirstFile.

To help you see the output, a file called findfile.dat is produced. It contains the list of files found. I tried my best to have it indicate the incorrect files by prefixing incorrect files with "BAD MATCH ..." Please disregard the output where it prints BAD MATCH for files found with uppercase BC, bC, or Bc.

I hope what I typed makes sense.

I've attached the source code. Just rename file by removing the ".txt" extension.


Thanks,
Raul
