Hi,

Just started today picking my programming hobby after 10 years when i =
used an amiga and a whole different programming
enviroment, i feel like a rookie again in the world of programming with =
c++ with dev4 & windows.....

Can someone tell me how to get the current directory, i think it would =
be something like this:

string test;

void main(void)
{

test =3D GetCurrentDir();



return 0;
}

But ofcourse, this doesnt work.... someone.. enlighten me..

i tryed all kinds of material but couldn't find something that worked =
with dev4 and i dont know where i have to find the problem.

thanks for your help

Danny.

//i dont know if its valid in C++, but with C, please do not void man()...
//it should return integer. otherwise, the behaviour is undefined. :)

If I understand your problem corrrectly, you are unable to see the "Hello
world." message that is supposed to print out.  To rectify this, add
#include <stdlib.h> and in the line preceeding the return 0 command add
system("PAUSE");

Also, I do not understand why you #included windows.h.  There's no reason
to at all.

Hej all,
I would like to learn C and make win exe.
I'm using Win98 SE and DevC++ version 4 (not the newest).
The installed dir is C:\dev-C++ with Ming compile system (incl. in the
package)
My problem is I can not se whether the exe file runs or not.
There are no error message after compiling.
The c files are just a "Hello world" print out.
All the files are in 2 zip files, one for proj03 and the second for proj04.

The second question is the different between Ansi C and C and which is most
suitable with DevC++.

Thanks a lot

TriMy,
