struct stat myStat;int ret = _stat("C:\\Windows", &myStat);if (ret != 0) { // Some error occured, path probably doesn''t exist. // Check the errno global variable for more info.} else { if (myStat.st_mode & _S_IFDIR) { // Yes, it exists and it is a directory. } else { // Exists, but it''s not a directory. }} Hope this helps;

int dir_exists(char* filename){ DWORD fa = GetFileAttributes(filename); return (fa != -1 && fa & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY);}
