directory and file crawl
I created a program in Perl that crawls through a directory and outputs all folder and file names to a text document.
I want to create the same program in c++ but I do not know how to write the code in c++ that can find and search through dirctories and files. I only know how to open and write to a file that is in the same folder as my program.
I'm on a windows machine using Borland 5.5.
thanks to any who can help
search the boards for salems directory walker. Its been posted a few times now. With a few slight modifications it can dump to a text file. Also check the FAQ.

just put that into the "system" function in your code

Thanks for the reply vVv
I tried to compile the code on my windows box with borland 5.5 and it had numerous compile errors.
Shoul this code work on my setup?
thanks
He said it was for Linux, so it probably won't compile on Windows.
Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
