c++ equivelant to dir?

[Waldo2k2]

Basically, within my program i need to open and read from a number of files within a directory, except I don't know what files are in the directory, are there functions i can use to run through a directory opening these files? thanks.

thanks salem...you've been helping out a lot lately..thanks...i must sound like a major newbie....i started learning c++ about a month and a half ago, made two major programs right off the bat....took longer to debug than write, but i suppose that's how it's always going to go for me. i can never get something right off the bat...
