(Solved)Help in using FAT32_FindFirst(__DIR *pD) function

[lasa@kiatronics]

Hi all,

I am trying to use FAT32_FindFirst(__DIR *pD) function in the FAT32 libarary to read .txt files, a folder will contain.

First question : Can I use above function to read the names of the files in a folder at all?

Second question: In an attempt to use the function I had the following piece of code after SD card has been initialized

FAT32_FindFirst(&FILE);

At the top I define FILE as follows

__DIR FILE;

When compiled mikroc gives me an error illegal pointer conversion.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

As regards your first question, yes you can read names of the files with FAT32_FindFirst().

As regards your second question, I'm sorry, I wasn't able to reproduce the same behavior.
Can you attach your whole project in a zip/rar archive, also which version of the FAT32 Library are you using?

Best regards,
Lana

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have attached the file here. I have not commented err=FAT32_FindFirst(&FILE); in the project; hence it gives me an error. Once I've commented err=FAT32_FindFirst(&FILE); the project compiles fine.
I am using
FAT32 libaray with LFN support ver 3.1.0.0
MIkroC PRO for pic 32 compiler version is 3.6.0 with mE usb Dongle.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm sending you in attachment your project which compiles without errors,
I have only replaced existing __Lib_FAT32.h with the same .h file but from
version 3.1.0.0.

Best regards,

Sorry i'm having a bit of a hard time understanding how to use the FAT32_Findfirst and Findnext routine
Does __DIR *pD stand for my current director
and How do i use the information that comes from these routine

Good day!

It's very actual theme !!!
Where the developers of Mikroe? Why the silence during some years? I think, so they do not pay attention for users.


Almost nobody use FAT32_Dir()
Is there any progress for getting the list files in simple operation, in memory registries, but NOT throw the USART ?!?!

Best regards.
