file search engine

[Alkaif]

Hi there,

I am currently just working through our works online archive directory and was thinking of creating a search engine for it.

all the files are currently located in D:\Jobs\

and the documents reside in the parent directory or sub directory... from the Jobs folder...

how could i create a directory search?

obviously the results will be links...so how would i go about doing it?

or better yet, would you know of a tutorial which explains on how to do this?

Any help with the problem would be much appreciated.

Try looking at the opendir, readdir and closedir functions and their associated user notes.
That should be enought to get you what you want.
