How to read complete file names???

#1

May 10th, 2008

I want to read files and folder names from directories.
I have used the following code.
But the problem is that in the output the file name gets truncated.(See the output below)

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <dirent.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
 
void main(void)
{
	clrscr();
  DIR           *d;
  struct dirent *dir;
  d = opendir(".");
  if (d)
  {
    while ((dir = readdir(d)) != NULL)
    {
      printf("%s\n", dir->d_name);
    }
 
    closedir(d);
  }
 
  getch();
}
#include <dirent.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

void main(void)
{
	clrscr();
  DIR           *d;
  struct dirent *dir;
  d = opendir(".");
  if (d)
  {
    while ((dir = readdir(d)) != NULL)
    {
      printf("%s\n", dir->d_name);
    }

    closedir(d);
  }

  getch();
}

OUTPUT
=====
ABCABC~1.CPP
CURREN~1.EXE
CURREN~1.OBJ

The actual naes of the files are:
abcabcd.cpp
currentfolder.exe
currentfolder.obj

I would like to read the files as their original names....but I am unable to do so..

Please help!!
