Same goes for the functions warning() and addstrtab(). Cheers, Karel /* read all entries from current dir */ #include "cptree.h" void readentries (Strtab *tab, char *dirname) { DIR *d; struct dirent *dent; if (! (d = opendir (".")) ) { warning ("cannot read directory entries in %s", dirname); return; } while ( (dent = readdir (d)) ) { /* avoid . and .. */ if (! strcmp (dent->d_name, ".") || ! strcmp (dent->d_name, "..")) continue; addstrtab (tab, dent->d_name); } } - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
