Copy files

Hey all, i am a beginning C programmer (...) and i am writing a program for different pc's (all windows).

I want to make sure a program is located in a specific directory, but i dont know in what directory it is saved. (understand? )

So does someone know how i can search for a file, and copy (or move) it into a specific directory?

Thanks a lot, Erik

you can get the filename and location from
with in the running program with,

Code:

TCHAR szProgramPath[MAX_PATH];
GetModuleFileName(NULL, szProgramPath, MAX_PATH);

or

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[] )
{
      cout << argv[0] << endl;
}

would display the location and filename of the
program i believe, so you can use
that however youd like.


Once you use that command to locate the current directory and
filename of your program, you can use it to make a copy
somewhere else perhaps i guess, or this info might make it less
nessassary for you to have the program any certian place.
