listing files in a directory

This is not possible.
Plain C++ has no functionality to access a file system so your code
will be non-portable anyway.

But there is light: boost has encapsulated file system functions
for various operating systems in a consistent way.

David,

Try Boost's filesystem library. It most likely has the filesystem
primitives you need in the portable format you want.
