How to create multiple files inside a folder in C?

[toramadevi]

Hi ALL,

I 'm using DevC++ for writing a C source code to create multiple files and folders under a directory.With the help of mkdir command i am able to get a bunch of 40 folders in the current working directory.I have given here my code.

int main()
{
      char folderNames[40][3];
      int i,fptr;
      mode_t dir_mode = S_IRWXU;
      char *temp_name;
 
      for (i = 0 ; i < 40; i++)
      {
           sprintf(folderNames[i],"%d",(i+1));
      }
 
 
      for(i=0;i<40;i++)
      {
       temp_name = folderNames[i];
       fptr = mkdir(temp_name,dir_mode); 
      }
 
      (fptr == 0)? goodbye():error_msg();     
      fflush(stdin);
      getchar();
}

What do I struggle now is to get into each of the folders and create files?How can I change the program control from the present working directory into the desired folders?I tried with system("cd 1")..but its not working..It gives the place where the program resides.

Some one Plz help me..

Thanks,
Rama

The current working directory is just a state (of mind as it were) to any process. And because system spawns a process, only that process only knows what state it is in. The system command will just not cut it.

See this link for the info you seek.
