redirect stdout to a file?

I want to redirect stdout to a file.

say I did:

Code:

---

system("dir /b /s c:\\*.txt");

---

this would display all the text files on drive C in plain format (one line per file and no details /b does this). I want to redirect this to a file, so my program can search through the txt files for the one it needs.

Lookup freopen();

Its part of <stdio.h>

Though for that task you would do better to lookup findfirst() and findnext() to get the files. The method you are suggesting is very slow and cumbersome...

Will do, cheers.
