Re: [Dev-C++] opening files in c

[daniel <mag...@nt...>]

Thnaks for the help. I tried using the execute statement but it cam up with
the following error:

"/Programming/c_programming/c/practical_c/file_execute.c
D:\Programming\c_programming\c\practical_c\D cstdlib.h: No such file or
directory."

It seems as if its looking for the header file in the same directory as the
source file. Why does it only do this with <cstdlib.h> and not <stdlib.h> or
indeed <stdio.h>
