Just wondering about how to write extremely simple version of 'find' in C: It just lists the path names of the files in the specified directories and all subdirectories.For example,
Code:$find_version . ./foo ./bar ./baz ./baz/other $find_version foo bar baz baz/other
I can't really help you with "wondering". What have you tried, what are you stuck on. You need to post some code, and explain the problem.
Get into the game, instead of sitting on the sidelines.
You would have to talk to your operating system (and thus you would have to use operating-system-specific function calls, ie FindNextFile in Windows vs readdir on *nix).
Sounds more like a simple/extended tree command than a find command.
Show some work or expect to be ignored.

<whisper>Don't mention the FAQ</whisper>
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Wow, that FAQ code is very good; I might write the simple function I was thinking of writing that produces a list of file extensions in a directory.Originally Posted by Salem
(I have been looking at various version control; and was thinking of making something to create a list for all files for use in a ignore file list.)
Once, I get done with my paid work will likely do this.
Thanks.

This is unix find. I would use opendir and readdir
opendir(3): open directory - Linux man page
