Thread: delete multiple files

hey I would like to delete all occurances of .o from a directory, the code below is able to delete any files that if the name ends with o for example if i hardcode hello.o it will be able to be deleted, but I would like to remove all .o suffixs without hardcoding their names. for example as long as the name ends with .o it will be deleted, anyone know any way i can do this? Is there a way to use the * to include all as you do in database queries?

Code:

void deleteObjects(struct direct *entry)
{
        char *ptr;

        ptr = rindex(entry->d_name, '.');

        if(strcmp(ptr, ".o") == 0)
        {
                remove(".o");
        }
}

Kind of OS dependant. If your OS's command shell supports wildcards, then you can do the deletion with system("deletecommand arguments"); Otherwise, you can perform the serach using directory walking functions specific to your OS (FindFirstFile/FindNextFile, opendir/readdir)
