    How to creat a new list file?

    Hello:

    Suppose in one fold contains many files of *.txt or *.csv: A.csv, B.csv, C.csv .... I want to creat a file, say named list.txt, it only lists the file names of the fold:
    A.csv
    B.csv
    C.csv
    .......
    .......

    Could you tell me what is the way to creat this list.txt file?

    What OS are you on? There are the opendir/readdir/closedir family of functions for one.
    I used to be an adventurer like you... then I took an arrow to the knee.

    Hi, Thanls for your reply.

    My OS is windowsXP.

    What is the way for this OS to creat a list.txt containing the file's names in this folder.

    I would consider just:
    changing the current directory if needed,
    using system to execute "dir /b", and
    redirect the output to file.
