"directories" help

[Artiom Ivanov]

I want to write Win32 program in ADA using GNAT 3.13
My problem is that i want to work with "folders" (list content, look for
files, search them, look attributes), and i want it to work also on
unixlike-os like freebsd or linuxes.
Please can someone explain me how to proceed and which modules I should
"with" and "use"
Maybe some one can send some documentation or an example, please
Thanks in advance

First upgrade to GNAT 3.14p and use GNAT.Directory_Operations... And be sure
to read the GNAT Reference Manual, there is a special section listing all
nice packages provided with GNAT!

Fortunately there is GNAT.OS_Lib and others that are
fully portable. A few examples in "gnatpaqs.zip" on page
below.

Ok.

Well, now you've contradicted your first statement above.

Apparently what you want is a cross-platform program.

Do you need a GUI interface? If so, your best bet is GtkAda. If you
don't need a GUI, GNAT.OS_Lib does what you want, as others have
pointed out.
