[SOLVED] C++ List Directory

How to get the contents of a directory in C++?

I know about opendir(), but I wonder if there is a C++ way (that uses classes and exceptions).

Have a look here http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0.../doc/index.htm

And this example: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0.../simple_ls.cpp

Boost (http://www.boost.org) is a vast collection of well written and very useful set of libraries, many of which are earmarked to be included in the next standard of C++. Most of the implementation is in header files, making good use of templates similar to the STL.
