Thanks David and Glenn, The application is pretty simple, it's an inentifier of duplicate files. Over the years and through multiple computers the files start piling up. I looked into dedupers and none of the programs that I've found really fit my requirements. I have, with your help, all of the parts, I just have to put them togehter, throw in some error handling and it's sorted.
It's really just recursing through whatever name is given and making an index of all the files found with an MD5 and or SHA1 hash, combine that with the file size that's pretty good. It doesn't have to be crypto level since I'll be eyeballing the results. Then I'll load up the index into a database or just use the text file index directly to kill off the dupes. Since I know that this will take some time, I want to create the index once and not have to do it over and over again like all the programs that I've investigated want, sometimes I find, ya just have to do it yourself, that's the beauty of C. Once I sharpen the code enough to make it so that you masters wont hollar at me, I'll release it into the wild. Cheers mates!
