Creating files & file maintenance ability

[pclarkeirl]

Hello, I am new to C++ and have taken on a simple project in order to try and learn C++. I have downloaded Visual C++ 10. My question is as follows:

I have a number of master files which I need to define. Once defined I will need to be able to maintain the files and display the contents of the files in a list type format. This is the 1st part of my project. Could some kind soul please advise me where I should begin with this task any hints or sample code would be most welcome.

thanks in advance

Pat

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for. Are you looking to make an application that is similar to Windows Explorer and has a preview function?

Another thought that I had when reading is that you are looking for a configuration control tool. If that's the case, check out Tortoise SVN which will let you manage a large group of files in a source code project and let you keep revision history whenever you make changes.
