Question

I can move one file from one directory to another.

C++

rename("c:\\PASS\\airport.zip", "c:\\Users\\DS\\Downloads\\airport.zip");

But how do I move whatever file(s) is in a directory to another. I tried this and it doesn't work.

C++

rename("c:\\PASS\\*.*", "c:\\Users\\DS\\Downloads\\*.*");

Ah, are you sure? Doesn't rename in this form rename the folder itself and will fail if the destination folder already exists? So if "downloads" doesn't exist, then "pass" will be renamed and the original folder name is gone. I'm not sure that's what the OP wants.

Correct Chuck, I just want to move any file(s)from PASS to Downloads.

how create an application which move all the “JPG or JPEG” files from source directory to destination directory.
It will be a console application.
 First it will ask user to enter the source directory path ( where the different files are present)
 Once user enter the path , it will show the total count of “JPG or JPEG” files.
 After that it will ask user to enter destination directory path.
 Once user enter , move all files to destination directory path.
please suggest me.
