All files in a directory

Hi All,

I want to be able to iterate through a directory finding files with a specific file extension, like searching /home/username for all .sh files.

The language im using is C++.

Thanks

Well i guess you could use the directory reading functions in the POSIX c library.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

void ListFiles(const char* path)
{
    DIR *dir;
    struct stat statx;
    struct dirent *ent;
    
    if ((dir = opendir(path)))
    {
        while ((ent = readdir(dir)))
        {
            char fullName[1024];
            strncpy(fullName, path, sizeof(fullName));
            strncat(fullName, ent->d_name, sizeof(fullName));
            stat(fullName, &statx);
            
            if (!(statx.st_mode & S_IFDIR))  //remove this if you also want to list sub directories
                printf("&#37;s\n", fullName);
        }
    }
    closedir(dir);
}

I havnt tested it but that should list all the files in a directory. You can use ent->d_name and check it's extension.
