how to get path?

hi.....
how to get all path names all files
in a perticular directory in C pgm.
plz tell me...and give some sample pgm.

Hi,

'pgm' means programme I guess...

You can find information on the standard library functions here:

Ahhm...the path name for all files in a particular directory would be:

particular_directory(/ or \)file

You don't even need a c program!

But if you meant "all path names (...) in a particular directory" (which would be the directories in the directory, I guess), you could look at dirent.h and readdir. You can get the file type of each file this way and determine if it is a directory.

If this gives you trouble, post to this thread again.

There's an FAQ about this, with an example of readdir() and friends, I believe.

Example:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
  char buffer[256];

  printf("Input a directory name: ");
  fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer)/2, stdin);
  strtok(buffer, "\n");

  snprintf(buffer + sizeof(buffer)/2, sizeof(buffer)/2, "ls \"&#37;s\"", buffer);
  system(buffer + sizeof(buffer)/2);

  return 0;
}

That's just painful. You should put that code in your signature instead of the mere two-plus-buffer-overflow code. :)

[edit] I especially like

Code:

---

strtok(buffer, "\n");

Very well done. [/edit]

I shouldn't post code like that anymore. I am sometimes taken dangerously seriously and receive PMs such as "Code works great, but how do I capture its output?"
