    directory access

    Hello everyone,


    When using dir command to list all the files in a directory, for example, here is an output,

    --------------------
    C:\temp\test>dir
    Volume in drive C is C
    Volume Serial Number is CC95-21FF

    Directory of C:\temp\test

    2006-08-26 16:47 <DIR> .
    2006-08-26 16:47 <DIR> ..
    2006-08-26 16:47 0 foo.txt
    2006-08-26 16:47 0 goo.txt
    2 File(s) 0 bytes
    2 Dir(s) 3,082,964,992 bytes free
    --------------------

    What I want to get are, foo and goo (files ends with .txt). I know how to do this in a programming way, parsing and parsing ... :-)

    Could anyone have any ways which does not need programming, for example, by using some Windows commands (does there are any commmad like grep or cut on Linux)?


    thanks in advance,
    George

    Damnit people! If you're trying to do something which does note need programming then get out of the programming forums!

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Your questions lack any sense of direction or purpose.
    One minute it's windows, and then it's VxWorks
    Or advanced graphics then simple text parsing.
    What's going on here?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Why not just use grep and awk??? Windows versions are avaliable.

    What the hell do you mean "get"? As in open? Your question is way too vague...
