display all folders/files including the hidden ones

[computerages]

Hello, DaniWeb,

I am writing a C++ program that would output all folders/files including the hidden ones in a directory.

I ask the user for dir address, and I use the following instructions to execute the job:

string cmd;
		string dirAddr;
		cin >> dirAddr;
		cmd.insert(0, "dir /ah ");
		cmd.insert(cmd.size(), dirAddr);
		system(cmd.c_str());

I though this could be done with a simple command, but apparently this is not the case.

Any directions? Thanks!
