Thank you for the answer. Of course I declared filenames as char**... :cool: But I didn't know really good how the d_name variable works, then I made some mistakes... Now it's all clearer!

Hi everyone. I wrote a function that should copy in a strings' array all the name of several files contained in a folder.

void get_filenames(char dir[]){
int i=0;
DIR *sd;

sd = opendir(dir);
struct dirent \*dird;

printf("\\nLa cartella %s contiene %d files.", dir, n\_files);    //"Folder %s contains %d files."
	
seekdir(sd, 2);

for(i=0;id\_name;
	printf("\\n%s", filenames\[i\]);
}

closedir(sd);

}

When I call this function it seems to be alright, and the printf contained in the for cicle prints the names of files correctly... But if I try to print these names somewhere out of this function, I see that each string of filenames[] contains the last string printed in the get_filenames function, that is the last file in the folder. I allocated filenames[] in another void function, this way:

...
filenames = malloc(n_files * sizeof(char));
for(i=0;i
