Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to code something in C to list all files in a directory/folder (including sub-directories) so that I can then open those files and parse them etc.

thanks

Paul

on a posix compliant system you can use opendir (_opendir), readdir (_readdir), and closedir (_closedir)

On windows, you can do FindFirstFile / FindNextFile
