Thread: File names

Hi !

I am writting a C program on unix platform.
I need create many files with the same first part of the name but ending with increasing numbers like (file01, file02, file03...). Does someone know how to do that automatically ?
Thanks for the help.

Use sprintf.

Code:

for (i = 0;i < 100;i++)
{
    char file_name[PATH_MAX];

    sprintf(file_name, "file%02d", i);

    printf("File name is %s.\n", file_name);
}
