A few quick questions: files in folder, and timestamps
Author
At the moment I''m working on a console for my error and output viewing and I''d love to output the buffer of the console to a file once a while, since the console is lost when the app closes. I''ve been searching google but it can''t find it.
Anyway, for this I want to create a new file every time, but it has to be unique. How can I get the contents of the folder so I can quickly see if a file exists or not?
Another question is regarding timestamps: How do I get a timestamp in a dd/mm/yy or hh/mm/ss format?
TY

for Windows it''s
FindFirst
* with the returned handle you can go through the folder by doing FindNext
* don''t use FindClose in WinNT if FindFirst wasn''t successful, could hang up your system
for Dos look into the io.h, there are prototypes like this:
long _RTLENTRY _EXPFUNC _findfirst(char *, struct _finddata_t *);
long _RTLENTRY _EXPFUNC _findnext(long, struct _finddata_t *);
int _RTLENTRY _EXPFUNC _findclose(long);
and so on ...
