Convert a file's name into a string - C Program

[animeprogrammer]

Hello there, can i ask if there is a way to convert a file's name into a string.

Sample:

filename = testcode.txt

it will convert the file's name into a string:

char convert[100];

covert = name of file

Is this possible?

Thank you guys ;_;

I'm not sure what the question is considering that a file name is already a string.

const char filename[] = "testcode.txt";

sorry, i guess i didn't made it create,

Example is i have a file, a text file that is. It's file name is textfile.txt

How can i convert that filename into a string.

Do you mean how can you read the file names in a specific directory without knowing ahead of time what files are in the directory? If so we would need to know what platform you are using because the solution is platform specific.

In any other case the file name would be supplied somehow, hard coded into the program, supplied on the command line, given as input by the user to the program. In all these cases the file name would, of necessity, have to already be a string.
