    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.

Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."

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