C++ and Directory Manipulation
Hi
I want to manipulate directories, thru my C++ code. Like create, delete and rename directories. This has to done for both Unix and Windows.
Is there any API or any other way of doing it?
thanks

Hi,
Here is what you want.
#include <dir.h>
int chdir(char *path) - Change current directory to given path.
char *getcwd(char *path, int numchars) - Returns name of current working directory.
int mkdir(char *path) - Create a directory u sing given path name.
int rmdir(char *path) - Delete a specified directory.
Hope this is what you wanted.
Bye
All the best.

I beleive no. I donot think you can have a singlr souce code to do it. You have to follow one methodology for Windows and another for unix.
You can differentiate it this way:
#ifdef __unix
bUnix = true;
#else
bUnix = false;
#endif
where bUnix is a boolean flag.
Then based on the bUnix flag use OS specific calls to manipulate directory.
