Hi Rob, I understand it would be better if i extract the contents of the zip file. I have also extracted the zip file now and doing accordingly. But what is that i have not described/explained correctly in my previous mail?? Now after extracting the zip files i have lot of folders that contain makefile in them. And am also now able to LIST ALL THE FILENAME'S THAT HAVE MAKEFILE and THEIR PATH in a separate text file called "listof_allmake.txt". >From these makefile i have to list all .c files which i have finished, i.e, i HAVE LISTED ALL THE .C FILENAMES and THEIR FILEPATH in a separate text file called "listof_cfiles.txt". Next what i have to do is to take individual filepath of makefile and list respective .c files in them and call all makefiles recursively in all the other folders and have to store them separately. Last step is to remove all the .c files which i have listed separately. Please get back to me if i am not clear with anything here. Thanks for your time again Regards, Vinayak
