Reading Files from Directory one by one

I have files in a directory named as 1.txt ,2.txt and so on. I am reading these files by:

int counter=0;

unsigned char buffer[212]={0};

while(1)

{

sprintf(buffer,"path/%d.txt",++counter);

FILE *fp = fopen(buffer,"rb");

// some operations..

fclose(fp); 

}

I have more than 800 txt files in the folder(1.txt - 800.txt). But when around 500 files are read i.e from 1.txt to 500.txt it exits and doesnot read the next files.

Can anyone rectify this problem? Thanx in advance.

Maybe you are running uout of file descriptors (max is for example 500 per process). Try to use the readdir function.
