Hi,

See the implementation of TChain::Add(const char *name, Int_t nentries)
(http://root.cern.ch/root/html/src/TChain.cxx.html#TChain:Add)
for an example.

Cheers,
Philippe

Subject: [ROOT] Sorting the directory content


Hi roorters,

    I have found in the Root Search web page, a small macro to list the
directory files:

  void *dirp = gSystem->OpenDirectory(directory);
  const char *afile;
  while(afile = gSystem->GetDirEntry(dirp)) {
      printf("file: %s\n",afile);
  }

    My problem is that the showed list of files is not sorted
(equivalent Unix comand: "ls -f"), neither alphabetically nor
chronological order. How could I display the directory content in
alphabetical or chronogical order?.

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards:    Raquel
