How would you do that. I want to delete all the files in a folder yet leave the folder still there. VC++, Windows.

FindFirstFile(), FindNextFile(), DeleteFile() and RemoveDirectory(). Just debug it first

Hmm..i think the best way to do that is to delete the folder and then recreate it.. much simpler.

It''s so much easier to use boost (boost.org for more info).

Too many managers? General and Gameplay Programming
