    Searching files in a directory

    Hi,

    I want my program to create a String vector containing all the filenames in the directory the program is run in. How do I do this?

    I've been searching the internet for hours and all I can find is miles of help on accessing known filenames (like from the command line).

    Thanks!

    Thanks,
    Dave

    It's a pity you didn't read the FAQ.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
