Yes, that is most likely what I will end up doing next now that I have =
gotten it to work with the C character arrays.

Just use STL strings for each.
Don't do all this weird nonstandard stuff with C character arrays.
Then use the c_str() function to pass the data out of the string in C
format.

I am using a char SrcPath[20000] variable to hold the name (yes, the =
full
string gets close to being that long.)

I fill the array like this:

//LP4 is a variable that holds the source path + filename (lp4.exe)
//SFA - (same as above, source path + "mssfa.exe")

strcpy ( SrcPath, LP4 );
strcat ( SrcPath, "\0");
strcat ( SrcPath, SFA );
strcat ( SrcPath, "\0\0" );
std::cout << "SrcPath: " << SrcPath << endl;

unfortunately the output of "cout << SrcPath" shows both of the paths as =
one
that is what is causing the app to think of it as one huge path for a =
file
rather than 2 paths/files.

When not generating the strings, it's almost the same thing to do:
  char *source =3D "hello world";
or:
  char source[] =3D "hello world";

When dyanmically generating the file names, then source is of course
declared something like:
  char source[2000];

Note that when concatenating multiple file names, you must manually =
insert
the '\0' character after the names, since the string functions will =
break
at the null character.

By the way - why did you unlink the mailing list?

of the string, I then use the different versions (meaning same string =
with
different filename appended) with a null-termination ("\0") at the end =
to
create one long string of the 10 files I need to copy. I also make sure =
to
add an extra "\0" at the end of the whole string per the documentation =
(that
string should be double nul-terminated).
