Anybody know where I might find a good tutorial or something on
directory/file browsing in C++. I'm trying to write a program that
backs up MySQL databases, quite a few, and keeps track of them by not
letting the backups exceed a certain number. Naturally this would be
done by deleting files that are X amount of days/weeks old. However, to
do this I need to be able to scan all the files in a specific directory
and then obtain information on when they were created/modified.
I know there are Perl programs that do this, but I'd rather do it myself
~ its a learning experience.
