[comp.lang.c] Turbo C directory

gtchen@faline.bellcore.com (George T. Chen) (08/25/87)

Sorry if this has been asked before or if it seems trivially easy, but...
can anyone tell me how to get a directory from inside a Turbo C program?

Nothing I try seems to work.

Please, lok into the Turbo C Reference Guide p. 87. You'll find a short
example doing just this using findfirst() and findnext().

Directories can also be obtained by:

system("DIR");
