Sorting Directory Contents

Anyone know of a good way to sort a list of files if I give a path like C:\myDirectory\*.cmd that will return a sorted list of all cmd files in the directory? I don't need in a CFile object or anything like that, just a list of strings. Even all files in the directory would be fine, I can filter out non-cmd files after that.Thanks in advance.

You can't do what you are asking unless you write a program to do it. You can use Perl pretty easily for something of this nature. You can also use C/C++ (CFile).

 

Do you have an idea of how you want to do this (write a program, run a windows command)?

Hi there,

Apparently you want to use C/C++ being that you posted this in the C/C++ Programming forum! DOH! I should have looked first, but I am new at this bb stuff.

 

I have done something like this before, but it was several years ago. I did use the Win32 API, so I think I can reproduce it. It was done in C, not C++ so it should work with either compiler. Give me a bit of time to try to remember.

 

Thanks
