i know system() isnt as good as spawn but anyway i just use system
i try to compile it and it saysCode:#include <stdlib.h> system("copy file1.tmp file2.tmp");
=>undefined symbol _system in module
i check the borland help content and i dont see where im wrong
(bc 4.5)
any help would be great coz im kinda stuck on this stupid thing probably its 2 dumb to c ...
nopez because i bought it wel "bought" it
anyway its not a student compiler
but mayb hmm ill just try it in a smaller code cause its part of a big thing and ill c if that works because the compiler kinda acts stranges sometimes it even wont startup (the compiler i mean)
ive got two choices
1) im blind and stupified by errors that arent even
there
2)theres something strange with my compiler
because i just closed the compiler opened it again and i opened the project compiled it and now no errors were found
So no need to look at this anylonger thx anyway for the "apparently" no-needed comment
Why not write your own copy functions anyway?
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
why should i if it works fine doing it this way its just i uninstalled BC and installed it again and every thing runs fine now dunno wut the problem was (probably IDID something wrong because a program like BC wouldnt crash on those things)

- it'd be faster
- it'd be more efficient
- it'd be much safer (more secure)
- it'd be easier to detect and handle errors
- it'd be a learning exercise for you
Shall I go on?

heyas,
correct me if i am wrong but i believe that the copy command reads:
copy c:\temp1.txt TO c:\temp2.txt
you had copy file1.tmp file2.tmp
thus shouldnt the system line read
system("copy c:\file1.tmp TO c:\file2.tmp");
im not quite sure whether or not the directory is required (c:\) so give both options a go
hope this helps
I'll correct you, because you're wrong.Originally posted by twans

hope this helpsIn the standard DOS based copy, you use the following format:
copy <fromhere> <tohere>
Thus:
copy file1 file2
As for paths, since you're passing a string to the function, you must use the proper escapes if using the path:
system( "copy c:\\file1.bla c:\\myfiles\\file2.bla" );
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Or you could use the Win APIOriginally posted by Hammer
