can anyone tell me how to view a randomally inputted directory?

or how to view a directory at all......

thanks all.

you've been good to a very naive and green beginner!

If you are using a POSIX operating system (UNIX, Linux, etc) you would use opendir() and readdir() to get the directory information. You need to include sys/types.h and dirent.h to use these functions. Here are the function prototypes:

DIR *opendir(const char *name);
struct dirent *readdir(DIR *dir);

Pry open the dirent.h header file for the details in the dirent structure (I'm not in front of a *nix system at the moment, and my memory is failing).

When you are finished with the directory, be sure to call closedir():

int closedir(DIR *dir);

Hope that helps.

What operating system? What do you want from the directory query? Anything specific? More information.
