Find all file in a directory

[Abhijit]

Hello everybody,

I tried to find the files in a directory. The search should also
include the files in the sub directory as well. Is there anything
built in to find the files in c ? I don't want to use any system calls
(UNIX).

Any pointers would be highly appreciated

Not in Standard C++. Take a look at Boost's filesystem library.

This is a OS specific question. On Win use FindFirstFile/FindNextFile
and on *NIX use functions from dirent.h.

If you don't want to use these, you can calculate names with brute
force algorithm and try for their existence with fopen... <Just a
joke>

Nothing. Nor in C++, which I assume is what you really meant, given the
newsgroup name.

I don't want to use any system calls

Unfortunately, you have no choice - except that the Boost Filesystem
Library might supply what you need.

Any pointers would be highly appreciated
