So I guess with a few loops you could walk through an entire directory structure, based on the file types found in matching directories.
yeah, pascal had procedures that did it from within a program, i'm trying to find the equivelent procedures in C++. i'm sure they exist, i just can't remember them on the bright side, i should have a *nix box again at the end of this month if all goes well... which it never does
