Presence of a folder in a Drive

Hi,

using C++ how can i check the presence of a folder in a drive.
The path of the folder is available in a std::string like std::string path = "C:\\TestFolder";

Please help.

Thanks
Dave

If you are looking for a cross-platform way to do this, have a look at the Boost Filesystem library.

could you say which mechanisam is more faster and reason behind these mechanisam for copy a folder from one location to other?
1. I am using 'xcopy' dos command
2. I am using file read and write method in <stdio.h>
Will cycle stealing DMA had any role in my first choice ?

Thanks
Dave
