reading Directory contents (files) with C++

[Pim]

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know a clean way to get a filelisting from a given dir in linux?
I need to edit multiple files in a C++ prog and I couldn't find a solution on the net.

Many thanx
Pim

A quick into the look GNU C Library documentation always helps. :)

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/man...sing-Directory

And here's an example program (taken from the glibc doc):

     #include <stddef.h>
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <dirent.h>
     
     int
     main &#40;void&#41;
     &#123;
       DIR *dp;
       struct dirent *ep;
     
       dp = opendir &#40;"./"&#41;;
       if &#40;dp != NULL&#41;
         &#123;
           while &#40;ep = readdir &#40;dp&#41;&#41;
             puts &#40;ep->d_name&#41;;
           &#40;void&#41; closedir &#40;dp&#41;;
         &#125;
       else
         perror &#40;"Couldn't open the directory"&#41;;
     
       return 0;
     &#125;
