I been looking for a tutorial on this for a few days now with no luck. In C++ how would I be able to get a get a list of (all) directories on a certian drive?
For example, say I wanted to build a list of all directories underneath my F:\ drive in wondows or in linux all directories below /mnt/hdb1...
I just want to throw them into a vector and pump them out to flat file one path per line...

Did you see the class wxDir?

When you put the content into a vector (within the while loop of the sample) you are done

Yes I have, but I was looking for something using the regular CPP streams. Mainly since I haven't used them in this manner before.

C++ standard library does not support parsing directories. You need a third-party library like wxWidgets, or Boost or platform specific implementation like POSIX/ Win32 API.

Can I get a different example of it usage, maybe something a little more complex?
