Find all files within directory using "FindFirstFileA" - C

Question

I am using the Windows API and would like to be able to search through a specified directory and return the names of any files that reside within it.

I've made a start at it however i've hit a brick wall as i'm unsure of how to go any further.

Here is my progress so far:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

void main()
{
 HANDLE fileHandle;
 WIN32_FIND_DATAA fileData;

 fileHandle = FindFirstFileA("*.txt", &fileData);

 if(fileHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
 {
  printf("%s \n", fileData.cFileName);
 }
}

You need to call FindNextFile in a loop to find all the files. There's a full example here, here are the interesting bits:

hFind = FindFirstFile(szDir, &ffd);

if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE == hFind) 
   return dwError;

do
{
   printf("%s\n"), ffd.cFileName);
}
while (FindNextFile(hFind, &ffd) != 0);
