    Unhappy I need an Image retriever

    Hey I know this isnt the hardest job but I dont know how to make
    c programs well yet so I wanted to ask someone here if they could
    mayby make this for me.

    I would really like to own a c program that searches for every image
    file on an operating system from the root directory and names it 1 2 3
    4 5 6 7 etc... until every image on the operating system linux has been
    copied to a directory called image with a numbered name.
    If anyone here could post that I would be deeply grateful.

    me and I would be able to use c programs to search
    directories and stuff on linux. thanks a bunch!.

    Do your own homework, jackass.

    if you say "shell scripting" I bet someone will agree to $20
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge

    If you post a c program like that

    If you post a c program like that you will be helping me learn c programming
    and also helping me make an awsome html file. Its not homework and since you probably already have started making that file if you could post a c program on this forums that does the job
    then I would know how. Thanks.

    The reason I recommended shell scripting is that if this is a task "you really need doing" but you are not going to do it yourself, look for someone who knows bash shell scripting, because it can be done easier that way (so if you have to pay, you will pay less).

    If you want to do it in order to learn C, that is another story. Break the task down into simple elements and start trying each simple task; probably first you will want to look in the GNU C reference, Chapter 14.
