Search for a file

Hi,

I want to write code that search for a specific file under the root directory – all drives.
I want all ways to do that; using commands within the code or without

Thankx

You mean like what's in the FAQ?

What do you mean?

I need some hints no more

You mean like the FAQ titled
"Accessing a directory and all the files within it"

all ways?? here's one way I know..see if it helps:
there's a function called "system()" .check the man pages.THis allows u to execute shell scripts from within ur C program....Keep in mind that U need to escape characters like double quotes when passing the arguments to this function..
So, the shell script that does the searching job will be the argument to this function.
I hope u r using linux...
If u find it difficult to use this directly, u can write a shell program that does the job u want and call theshell programfrom ur C program using the same system() call...

Then the question becomes, "How do I do that in my shell script?" :)

If you really want to execute a shell script to do the work for you, read this FAQ: FAQ > How do I... (Level 2) > Run a program from within a program
