c++ - List files in directory with same name -

i have folder: c:\users\bob\desktop\somefolder.

in folder "somefolder" have 10 files:

abc.txt, abc1.txt, abc2.txt, abc3.txt, abc4.txt,

xyz.txt, xyz1.txt, xyz2.txt, xyz3.txt, xyz4.txt.

now let's want display (list) files name start "abc".

it should this:

std::string path = "path_to_directory"; //c:\users\bob\desktop\somefolder (auto & p : fs::directory_iterator(path)) std::cout << p << std::endl; 

but need kind of "filter".

simply use std::string::find

for(auto& p: fs::directory_iterator(temppath)) {      std::string file_name = p.path().filename();     if ( file_name.find("abc") == 0 )     {        std::cout << file_name  <<std::endl;     } }

can use std::regex following "complicated" pattern within path

std::regex filematcher( temppath + "/abc.*",                         // files begins `abc` in current directory .         std::regex_constants::ecmascript | std::regex_constants::icase);  for(auto& p: fs::directory_iterator(temppath)) if (std::regex_match (p.path().c_str() ,filematcher  )) {    std::cout << p <<std::endl; }

^{might have tweak windows path. don't have latest compiler check on windows}
