Hi everyone.

I have been trying to learn how to build xbmc for a few months now and I have implemented a few patches that I have found on the web and got them to work but there is something I have been stuck on now for a week and I have googled non stop but can't seem to find examples or answers to what I am trying to achieve.

I have added in a multi language patch for the onscreen keyboard and I want to be able to copy the entire folder over to the Userdata folder.

In application.cpp I have found the following.

Code:
static void CopyUserDataIfNeeded(const CStdString &strPath, const CStdString &file)

{

  CStdString destPath = URIUtils::AddFileToFolder(strPath, file);

  if (!CFile::Exists(destPath))

  {

    // need to copy it across

    CStdString srcPath = URIUtils::AddFileToFolder("special://xbmc/userdata/", file);

    CFile::Cache(srcPath, destPath);

  }

}

Code:
// copy required files

  CopyUserDataIfNeeded("special://masterprofile/", "RssFeeds.xml");

  CopyUserDataIfNeeded("special://masterprofile/", "favourites.xml");

  CopyUserDataIfNeeded("special://masterprofile/", "Lircmap.xml");

If I add my files one at a time to the end of this then they will work, eg.

Code:
CopyUserDataIfNeeded("special://masterprofile/", "/languagekeys/english.xml");

CopyUserDataIfNeeded("special://masterprofile/", "/languagekeys/french.xml");

CopyUserDataIfNeeded("special://masterprofile/", "/languagekeys/russian.xml");

But I want to be able to copy over the entire "languagekeys" folder in one go as there are loads of files in there and they will be changing often.

I think I need a URIUtils::GetDirectory function but I have no idea how I would implement this.

If any of you kind people could please point me in the right direction or tell me what code I need that would be brilliant. Also can anyone suggest any good reading material to help me understand the coding better.

Thank you very much.
