For which operating system and compiler?

Here's how to read a dir in linux

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>

main()
{
    struct dirent *dr;
    DIR *dp = opendir(&quot;.&quot;);
    if ( dp != NULL ) {
        while ( (dr=readdir(dp)) != NULL ) {
            printf( &quot;%s\n&quot;, dr->d_name );
        }
        closedir( dp );
    }
    return 0;
}

You might try asking in a C++ group. However, directories aren't covered by either C or C++.

char filearray [5000] [513];

int ScanDir (char *dir)
{
    // This function scans a directory for all files.
    // Loads the filearray

    struct ffblk ffblk;
    int done;
    int x = 0;
    char *buff = new char [512];

    strcpy(buff, dir);
    strcat(buff, "*.*");

    done = findfirst(buff, &ffblk, FA_DIREC + FA_SYSTEM + FA_HIDDEN + FA_RDONLY + FA_ARCH);

    while(!done)
    {
        if(strcmp(".", ffblk.ff_name) != 0 && strcmp("..", ffblk.ff_name) != 0)
        {
            if((ffblk.ff_attrib & FA_DIREC) == FA_DIREC);
            else
            {
                strcpy (filearray [x], ffblk.ff_name);

                x++;
            }
        }

        done = findnext(&ffblk);
    }

    delete buff;

    return x;
}
