I am wondering if someone would possibly post a recursive function that prints out all files and sub-directories. I've never created a recursive function before and I'm having problems getting all files and directories to print.

Thank You

Here's a short program that recursively prints out the directories and files under (and including) the directory given as input. #include <iostream> #include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp> // includes boost/filesystem/path.hpp #include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp> using namespace std; namespace fs = boost::filesystem; void Recurse( fs::path & target ); int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if( argc < 2 ) { cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <path>" << endl; return 0; } fs::path rootpath( argv[1] ); Recurse( rootpath ); return 0; } void Recurse( fs::path & target ) { if( !fs::exists( target ) ) return; fs::directory_iterator end_itr; // default construction yields past-the-end if( fs::is_directory( target ) ) { cout << target.string() << endl; for( fs::directory_iterator itr( target ); itr != end_itr; ++itr ) Recurse( *itr ); } else // root of recursion cout << target.string() << endl; }
