The reason that dir("*") doesn't work, is that the shell translates the * 
into what it should be.

The * is handled by the shell, not the kernel (I think.... correct me if 
wrong)

So, you need to send a command via the shell, or call and parse system("ls > 
yourtestfile.txt"), or something like that.
