Accessing data cd content

[freeindy]

Hi,

I have trouble finding a data cd's content e.g files and directories. I've looked everywhere but I can't find any stright forward information.

All I want to do is look for mp3 files in a datacd. doesn't matter where they are in the heriarchy just I know their location or reference.

Anybody know a code tip or reference?

Cheers a million

I assume the best thing to do is to search all mounted drives... Like the mount command with the -l switch (it's been a while) And then just spider down each file system. I am sure there is a C++ command that will return the mounted drives, though I don't what it is... Hope this helps...

Does it have to be C++? A simple shell script would be able to do it easily. //Daniel

Jstreich & Daniel:

Well, I'm developing a cd car stereo in c++. I have a laptop that both the floppy and hard disk controller has crashed. Only boot scenario is cd boot. I thouht I get one of those linux cd boots and set my application in initrc (or whatever) and viola it plays.

So the question to Jstreich and Daniel, can I just open a FILE in RAM and get the output from the script copied there?

I do whatever works...

If it is possible with shell script, how do you code it? I haven't much knowledge in shell scripts...

thanks in advance
