dirent.h

[amarg]

Hi All,

I am using the opendir(), readdir(), and closedir() to handle a directory.

According to man page of readdir(), should retrun the files in sorted order. I mean field d_name[] in struct dirent retruned by readdir() should contain the file name which is next in the sorted list of files. But i am getting something else. Please clear me related to the use of readdir().

I have the files in dir

(00.00.htm, 00.01.htm, 00.02.htm, 00.03.htm, 01.00.htm, 01.01.htm ............)

i am accepting the same sequence return by readdir().

But i am getting

(00.02, 00.03, 01.00.htm, 01.01.htm ............, 00.00.htm, 00.01.htm).

I know i am doing some mistake by what.........


Regards,
Amar

I've read many different manual pages on readdir(), yet I don't recall any mention of sorting.

I read all the filenames into an array of some sort, then use the qsort() library function to sort the data however I want.
