Im writing a game right now and I want it to get the contents of a directory, mainly *.sav files and then put it all into an array of sorts. My main priority is to get this code cross platform - Linux, Windows, Mac etc. Does anyone know of such code?
I doubt you'll find anything in the regard that is very cross-platform, as each system will use it's own filesystem. What I recommend is that you isolate the platform-dependant parts of your program into one file, and then you just have to change one tiny part of your program for each build.
Ok, in that case i might have to put the two different code snippents in a bunch of #ifdef #endif statements. Where can i find code that does this for linux and windows, those are my two main platforms.
For *nix platforms, do a search for dirent.h and ftw.h. That should get you started with navigating and reading directories for linux.
Use the Boost filesystem libraries.

I prefer not to jump into any other libraries that i have no experience with. I rather write my own. I take it using ftw.h and dirent.h i can get a list of files from within a direcotyr on *nix. how about windows, is there a equivalent (without using windows.h)?
For windows you should read:
