UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hello im new to linux programming trying to list files in a directory i current have the code to list all the files but i do not want the hidden files to show such as a file named .openoffice.org2.0 for example, can anyone help me or point me in the right direction


#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int recls(void);
int main(void){
recls();
}
int recls(void) {
DIR *dir;
struct dirent *dirslot;
dir=opendir(".");
while (1) {
dirslot=readdir(dir);
if (dirslot==NULL) return 1;
printf("%s\n", dirslot->d_name);
}
}

Code:

        while (1) {
                dirslot=readdir(dir);
                if (dirslot==NULL) return 1;
+               if (dirslot->d_name[0] == '.') {
+                       continue;
+               }
                printf("%s\n", dirslot->d_name);
        }
 }

thank you for you help, it now works fine
