listing files in a directory

[David Jacques]

I am trying to get a list of all files of a certain extension type on disk
to do some processing in a loop. The code needs to be portable to UNIX, so
I need to use plain C++ functionality. Does anyone know of a way to do this
?
Any URLs, code snippets, etc ? Is this even possible ?

This is not possible.
Plain C++ has no functionality to access a file system so your code
will be non-portable anyway.

But there is light: boost has encapsulated file system functions
for various operating systems in a consistent way.

David,

Try Boost's filesystem library. It most likely has the filesystem
primitives you need in the portable format you want.
