how to get all .exe files name of a given drive ??

[maruf10]

Is there any way to get the parent folder name of each file ??

maruf10,

Tell us what you are going to do with this code. A recursive algo using the FindFirst/FindNext pair can do anything you want but it can also be used for mischief like deleting whole drives. You already have more than enough info to write this code as you have supplied C source code, what is the problem and what are you going to do with it ?

A mischief has already been done ...
all files (6 GB) of my PENDRIVE has already been deleted ...

I want to detect those .exe files which name is same as their parent folder like C:\TC\TC.exe

At what portion of the recursive procedure should i check to get the parent folder name of all files ??
I have tried but failed ....
It shows another folder name as a parent folder of each file ...



i have got a simpler way ... I can get the parent folder for a file from its full path .
In that case i would like to know the technique of string traversing in masm32 ...
how can i do this ??

My prototype for listing files in the form \xxx\foo\foo.exe is provided below. I will note that such file names are VERY common for legal and harmless programs, I listed about 50 in my TEMP directory for various compilers, assemblers, Compaq SoftPaq's, etc.
