Re: [Dev-C++] File Manipulation

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

I didn't see such an answer.

No, you should not use the system command to change directory. That is a
bad way to do it! Directory handling is part of the Posix standard...

What is wrong with chdir() and getcwd()?

When you originally asked, I gave you an answer how to google for the
required information. I guess you didn't take the time to bother? The end
result - you went the easiest way and selected a bad method to work with
directories. That is one of the problems for people who think Internet is
a distributed help desk.

Just note that M$ has the bad habit to add a leading underscore to a lot
of functions, just to make life a bitch for developers.

And if you make use directly of the Win32 API, you have access to native
Win32 function swith or without Unicode support. But I leave that as an
exercise for you. But think about adding MSDN as a keyword when
googling, since M$ keeps their online documentation on their Microsoft
Development Network...
