Microsoft Visual Studio: opendir() and readdir(), how?

I would suggest using FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile().

sample code:

HANDLE hFind;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData;

if((hFind = FindFirstFile("C:/some/folder/*.txt", &FindFileData)) != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE){
    do{
        printf("%s\n", FindFileData.cFileName);
    }while(FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData));
    FindClose(hFind);
}

This really is better, because i can use "*.txt" etc, makes it much more easier to find some specific filetypes, earlier i had to write own match function for that :D

Use boost::filesystem, or std::filesystem if you are using C++17
