File Count

[ootsoo]

hi all,

i want to create an application using c/c++/vc++.

the function specification is like this,

the application should get an item from user ..the item may be a file or a folder..if it is a file then it must tell it s a file and must come out....but if it s a folder then it must count the number of files and sub folders in that particular item the user has mentioned..

m struck up with the starting point itself...

1 - - > so please give a me an idea or any algo so that i can build upon it.

2 - - > also tell me which among the there prog lang will it be easy to create ...i m newbie to this prog field...so learning a bits n pieces of Cpp....

waiting for ur valuable responses...

regards n thanx ,
