Re: [Dev-C++] Detecting the presence of a directory (was (no subject))

[David M. <ci...@ya...>]

chdir is #included from where?
 
Does it return a value?
 
If it does what value does it return and for what reason?

Can somebody help me with this code. asks you to   enter a folder name and users chdir() to check if the folder does   exist.
  
I am trying to get it to device names and tell me   if the device exist.....eg. 
  
  my computer name is AN1490812... so I would   like to find out if the divice name C:\\ does exit on my computer.   
Can anybody help? 



  
struct _finddata_t file; 
char name[64]; 
int   main(void) 
{ 
cout<<"Enter a folder name :"; 
cin>>name; 
chdir("C:\\"); 
long flag=0;   
if((flag=_findfirst(name,&file))==-1L)   
{ 
cout<<"No matching files\n"; 
} 
else if(file.attrib   &_A_SUBDIR) 
{ 
cout<<"\\found \n"; 
} 
system("PAUSE"); 
return 0; 
}
