    Just like you would do one file you can read more than one file as well. I am not able to understand what you are trying.

    Which OS are you using? Which API or object model?
    The answer is dependent on both.

    For example here's some code from a project of mine, but this isn't going to be a lot of use to you if you're not using the Windows API:
    Code:
    void recurseDir(const char *dir,int recfunc)
    {
    	WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData;
    	HANDLE hFind;
    	int bFin=0;
    	char startDir[1024];
    	strcpy_s(startDir,1024,dir);
    	strcat_s(startDir,1024,"\\*.*");
    	hFind=FindFirstFile(startDir,&FindFileData);
    	while (!bFin)
    	{
    		if (hFind==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
    			bFin=1;
    		else
    		{
    			if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
    			{
    				// skip . and ..
    				if (strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName,".") && strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName,".."))
    				{
    					char loc[1024];
    					strcpy_s(loc,1024,dir);
    					strcat_s(loc,1024,"\\");
    					strcat_s(loc,1024,FindFileData.cFileName);
    					if (recurseFuncData.skipSkipDirs && skipDir(FindFileData.cFileName,loc))
    					{
    						//printf("Skip dir '%s'\n",loc);
    					}
    					else
    					{
    						//printf("Recurse into directory '%s'\n",loc);
    						recurseFuncData.dirCount++;
    						recurseDir(loc,recfunc);
    					}
    				}
    			}
    			else
    			{
    				//printf("Found file '%s'\n",FindFileData.cFileName);
    				//recurseFuncData.fileCount++;
    				strcpy_s(recurseFuncData.fromDir,1024,dir);
    				if (!recurseFunc(recfunc,&FindFileData))
    					bFin=1;
    			}
    		}
    		if (!FindNextFile(hFind,&FindFileData))
    			bFin=1;
    	}
    	FindClose(hFind);
    }
