Thread: process all files with certain extension

is there a more portable way to do this?

PHP Code:

DIR *currentdir;
struct dirent *entry;

currentdir = opendir (".");

if (currentdir)
{
  while ((entry = readdir (currentdir)))
    if (strstr ((*entry).d_name, ".wav"))
      do_stuff ((*entry).d_name);
  closedir (currentdir);
}

else
  printf ("error opening current directory\n"); 


in the shortest of terms, no.

::edit:: files management/disk managment is OS specific, so complete protablilty in a single code version is not probable.

question:

why (*entry).d_name

instead of entry->d_name

they are equivalents, no?

actually it's more that i really hate the -> operator

i dunno, i find it easier to think thru the code with (*foo).bar and not foo->bar

Think of it this way: The left side of the arrow is a pointer, and one of its members is being accessed. Thus, you're pointing at the member of a structure.

ptr->member;

Quzah.

hmm i should have known that something like this wouldnt be ANSI, but if it will run on any POSIX than that's enough portability for me.
