A Directory or Folder is a file system object which contains group of files and folders or directory.
In C++, directory are handled by <dir.h> class which is used to manage the directory to create, remove and rename.
Below coding is the program for Directory Handling Operation:
#include <iostream.h> #include <conio.h> #include <process.h> #include <dir.h> char curd[MAXPATH]; char new_dir[MAXDIR]; void mkdir(); void removedir(); void curdir(); void redir(); char dir[9]; void main() { int ch; clrscr(); do { cout<<"\n\n\n\t1.Make Dir"; cout<<"\n\t2.Remove Dir"; cout<<"\n\t3.Current Dir\n\t4.Rename Dir\n\t5.Exit\nEnter ur choice:"; cin>>ch; switch(ch) { case 1: mkdir(); break; case 2: removedir(); break; case 3: curdir(); break; case 4: redir(); break; case 5: exit(0); break; default: cout<<"\nInvalid choice:"; } }while(ch!=5); getch(); } void mkdir() { int stat; clrscr(); cout<<"\nEnter the new name:"; cin>>dir; stat = mkdir(dir); if (!stat) cout<<"Directory created\n"; else { cout<<"Unable to create directory\n"; exit(1); } getch(); system("dir/p"); getch(); } void removedir() { int stat; clrscr(); cout<<"\nEnter the new name to be deleted:"; cin>>dir; stat = rmdir(dir); if(!stat) cout<<"\nDirectory deleted\n"; else { cout<<"\nUnable to delete directory"; exit(1); } } void curdir() { getcwd(curd,MAXPATH); cout<<"current=>"<<curd[MAXPATH]; } void redir() { int stat,stat2; char tempname[9]; cout<<"Enter the current directory name:"; cin>>tempname; stat=rmdir(tempname); if(!stat) { cout<<"\nEnter new directory name:"; l1: cin>>new_dir; stat2=mkdir(new_dir); if(!stat2) cout<<"\n\tDirectory Renamed"; else { cout<<"\nDirectory name already exist"; cout<<"\nEnter again:"; goto l1; } } else cout<<"\n Directory does not exist"; }
