    This is platform specific and you will probably have to write it yourself. Though you can search for third party functions that do what you want. What OS and compiler do you use?

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    There are some standard c functions for doing this. Dirent.h contains the functions for doing this kind of stuff. Since I don't feel like writing code just look on google.

    try something like this:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <dirent.h>
    
    int main()
    {
         struct dirent *foo=NULL; 
         DIR *bar=NULL;
         char ham[lengthoffilename][numberofentries];
         char* filename="why/didnt/you/search/the/web";
         bar=opendir(filename); /*this opens the dir-big surprise*/
         /*check for NULL pointer here*/
         while (foo == readdir(bar)){
                  /*set up a for loop here and read*/
                  ham[][i] = foo->d_name
         }
         closedir(bar);
         return 0;
    }
    Something like that might work for you. But then again, it might not.
