Opening Multiple Files in sequence

Hi all,

I am new to C++ and i have a question.

Is there any way that i can open multiple files in sequence and displaying the info onto the screen in sequence also. For example, loading for multiple picture files and forming them into an animation?

Anyone can help?


Thanks in advance

Sure, how much of that can you do already?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
int main ( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
  for ( int i = 1 ; i < argc ; i++ ) {
    std::cout << "parameter " << i << " is " << argv[i] << std::endl;
  }
}

---

If you compile and run this program with say
./myprog.exe *.jpg
in a directory with lots of jpg files, you'll see them all listed.

Hi thanks for your quick reply,

I am a newbie to c++ programming. The last time i tried programming was 7 years back.

May I know how this works?

Code:

---

std::cout << "parameter " << i << " is " << argv[i] << std::endl;

---

I tried to compile but it gave me a error C2601: 'main' : local function definitions are illegal

here is my code

Code:

---


#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    LPSTR    lpCmdLine,
                    int      nCmdShow)
{
        int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
        {
                for ( int i = 1 ; i < argc ; i++ )
                {
                std::cout << "parameter " << i << " is " << argv[i] << std::endl;
                }
        }

        return 0;
}

really appreciate for the help :)

You've included a main function in a WinMain function, use one or the other. If you're making a console application use main or use WinMain for a GUI application.

To do that you would need to implement directory parsing, I'm not aware of any OS that will produce multiple arguments for you.

A proper shell will expand the arguments. Windows cmd.exe doesn't.
