Yeah, I know, it's just one of those things that, unless you understand it,
different). It's not a big deal, I just thought it worth mentioning.

The weird behavior is due to the attempt to keep this loop model
consistent with other MFC
iterators, such as the collection iterators.

I agree with the others that using CFileFind makes sense especially since
it
is easier to use and essentially uses the same base code. One thing you
may
find different in the new paradigm is that you call GetNextFile() before
you
can access the first file. The loop was a little confusing to me at
first:
CFileFind finder;
BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile("*.*");
while (bWorking)
{
bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();
cout << (LPCTSTR) finder.GetFileName() << endl;
}
Note that there you can't use the object until you call FindFile() and
FindNextFile(). Eventually FindNextFile() will return false indicating
that
it has found the last file.

Hello, all,
I'm looking for some advice about how best to proceed with some code I'm
porting from 16-bit MFC to 32-bit ( target = VC++ 6.0/MFC).
There are a lot of instances in the existing code that use the archaic
dos-style _dos_findfirst/_dos_findnext to find all files that match a
given mask, including subdirectories of the starting search path, e.g.:
int error = _dos_findfirst(searchPath, _A_SUBDIR, &c_file )
etc.
Some brief research into how to do this in 32-bit Windows reveals
multiple
options:
FindFirstFile/FindNextFile
CFileFind
...both of which were mentioned in this newsgroup or
32-bit functions, e.g. _findfirst
There may be others I missed.
What are your recommendations and what are the advantages or
disadvantages
of each choice?
It looks like all the choices above require special handling for
subdirectories.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Gerry Murphy
