[Dev-C++] directory I/O handling problem

[Big P. <big...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have some problems while writing my own fileselect dialogue (for
textmode, so windows fileselect dialogue is not good for me)
I haven't found any useful functions to decide if a string points to a
valid (existing) directory or not
I've found stat() but it raised segfault problems (even with valid
directory names, inside stat () function)
are there any other functions to examine my string before calling opendir (=
) ?

tia,

tom

Why not just call opendir() and check for a null pointer after calling it?
