getting files and folders list

[Hard_Working_]

Hi everyone:

I need to list all the files and folders that exists in a folder. Just like the LS function, however I need to do this is c++, without doing system calls.

What I actually need is to find a way to get into an array of strings, the name of each file and folder inside a certain folder.

Any idea how to do this?

Thank you

hi,

this may be bit useful...

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

if(argc<2){
printf("Usage:%s<pathname>\n",argv[0]);
exit(1);
}

fsize(*++argv);
printf("The pathname of the directory is argv=%s\n", *argv);

return 0;
}


void fsize(char *name)
{
struct stat stbuf;

if(stat(name,&stbuf)== -1){
fprintf(stderr,"fsize:can't access %s\n",name);
return;
}

if((stbuf.st_mode& S_IFMT)==S_IFDIR)
dirwalk(name,fsize);
else
printf("Not a directory !!\n");

printf(" Given directory is %s and its size %8ld \n",name,stbuf.st_size);

}

void dirwalk(char *dir, void(*fcn)(char *))
{

struct dirent **namelist;
struct stat stbuf;
count=scandir(dir,&namelist,NULL,alphasort);
if(count<=0)
printf("There are no file in this directory\n");
else
printf("There are %d files in the directory\n",count);
