Thread: [Dev-C++] File and Directory manipulation

Hello.  

I am a convert from DJGPP to Dev c++.  I now use both.
 I am trying to perform file manipulations in Dev C++.
 How can I do this?

For example, I need a piece of code that determines
the current drive and directory.  Create a new
directory?  Remove directory?

I did Google this item.  Most of the answers say this
cannot be done.  They also suggest something called
API.

Does anybody have some suggestions?

Thank you.

Yes, google a little bit better. "Can not be done" is a very bad answer.
If it can't be done - how come other programs are able to do it?

Some of the things you want to do can be done using normal Posix C.

By the way: API = Application Programming Interface. Every system has a
set of functions that may be used.

Visit The Microsoft MSDN site, for full documentation about the functions
(API) available for Windows programs.
