Hi,
I have a small question.
How do I compute the number of files(which are specific such as .doc) in a directory in C++.
For example, if I have 10 files of type .doc format in a directory, how do I compute this value using C++.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!!

I think it depends on OS in which you are working.
If you are on Unix OS then
int i;
i = system(ls -l path/*.doc|wc -l); // here path sholud be complete path
// or path from current directory till the folder where you are
// looking for .doc files.

And in Windows I would imagine it would implement the Win32 API.
I am using Windows.
I have gone through the link given above for windows, but could not understand it properly.
Do we have any other methods for it.
Thanks!!
You call FindFirstFile and then call FindNextFile until is doesnm;t find a file.
If you are looking for all of the files, then find the *.* file.

I am wanting to create a report that summarises the number of items within a date range.
For example I have a FIELD called System_Change.
This is a drop down COMBOBOX that uses words like unix, polfs etc.
I know how to query a date range, but not how to count number of fields within this date range.
I would like the report to show date range filtered then list all changes and number of times they appear.
Thanks in advance anything...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
