File or Folder?

[heartlet]

Hello forum!

I'm looking to determine if a filename is either a folder or a file.

I can list the files using dirent header but because it will not allow me to use d_type so I'm using stat instead.

As you can see I tried using two different methods from the documentation.

The second one outputs -1 and 0. However all files and folders are -1 except for one file that was 0.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advanced!

while (drct=readdir(dr)){
//1.    cout << S_ISDIR(drct->d_name) << endl;
//2.    cout << stat(drct->d_name, &_buf) << "   " << drct->d_name << endl;
}
