How do I program a C:/> prompt to find files in C++?

[Alex T]

I'm making a program which is supposed to create a C:/> prompt which is used to find a file, and give info about it, but I'm having trouble programming the C:/> prompt. How do I make it show the contents of a folder?

Is there a special class/functions for this? I have no idea, I have getting the actual info for one file in a specific folder, but to find a file using a C:/> prompt is the difficult part for me.

Anyone care to help?

Can't you just execute the dir command by making a call to system()?
