Ask in a VC++ group, this is a platform rather than a C question.

The first thing you have to learn is how to read the documentation.
VC++ comes with a lot of documentation and you will have to learn how to
use it before continuing. Go (in the IDE) to the Help menu item
and look what is in there.

Learn how to read and find functions in there because if you
don't you will come back here at each thing that you want to do.

I suspect there is no such file as "file.iam", or "compiler.how" or
"directory.i" on your system. There certainly is no such include
file as "dirent.h" on a standard C system.

Hint: You are allowed to insert blanks after a sentence, and the
personal pronoun I is always capitalized.

Check if the include path in your IDE is set correctly...
If yes then check if the exist in the system or not..

Ratan, please don't top-post.

See <http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html> for an explanation, and
most of the articles in this newsgroup for examples of how to do it
right.

Hi all,
i need to open multiple files that are in directory and parse
each file.

Just go away and use VB:

-----------------------------
Sub DoDirs (cwd)

For Each objFolder in cwd.SubFolders

For Each fname in objFolder.Files

'do something with the files

Next

' recurse
DoDirs objFolder

Next

End Sub

' Get the current working directory (cwd)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set cwd = fso.GetFolder (".")

DoDirs (cwd)
