File Management

[simbiote3]

What I would like to know is how to use C++ to manage a directory and the files in the directory. I would like to have it create folders based on a specified criteria and move all files that meet a specified criteria to the folder. My knowledge in C++ is pretty minimal right but I catch on quick and I understand what I'm looking at. My use for this is when I download music I want it to identify the artist > create a folder with the artist's name > move files to the folder. I also want to make it more advanced later on where it searches all the folders and sorta reorginizes it.

IDK if it makes a difference but I use Windows 7 x64.

In my opinion, C++ might not be the most suitable tool for your use case.
You may want to learn batch processing and some scripting languages of your choice.
