say I have a directory /user with 3 subdirectories /user/code, /user/docs, /user/pics.
my program is in /user, how do I do it find out 1. how many subdirectories there are and 2. get their names into variables.
what my program does, it copies a file into every directory of a whole (large) webserver. but it has to output the names of all the directories it put the file in and it has to omit some directories.
I hope someone understands me and can help!
thank you!

You can use the findfirst, findnext functions to walk through a directory and the stat function to check if the file is a directory on not. But I'm not sure if this functions are supported on your system.
Check the manual pages for more information about this functions.
I use linux, but what header files do I need? I just found relatively poor information about findfirst/findnext. It seems to be exactly what I need! Could someone give me an example how to use those functions?
thanks
i think dir.h

- Take a look at the opendir, closedir and readdir functions on this site: UNIX Manual Pages
- Try searching the board (there are a lot discussions about this topic)
