Is there a smooth way to glob in C or C++ in Windows?
E.g., myprogram.exe *.txt sends my program an ARGV list that has...ARGV[1]=*.txt
in it.
I would like to be able to have a function (let's call it readglob) that takes a string and returns a vector of strings, each containing a filename.
This way, if I have files a.txt b.txt c.txt
in my directory and readglob gets an argument *.txt
, it returns the above filelist.
//Prototype of this hypothetical function.
vector<string> readglob(string);
Does such exist?
