Cross-platform way to get all files in directory in C++ besides boost

Question

Is there other cross-platform way except using Boost to get all files in directory? opendir/readdir seems not working under Windows.

Answer 1

You can use the cross-platform framework called Qt . An example solution to your problem:

#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QListWidget window;

    QDir dir("/");
    QStringList list = dir.entryList();

    window.addItems(list);

    window.show();

    return app.exec();
}
