    string variable + "some string" ??

    How can I add an "string" to a string variable to make it into one big string? I have code that returns the current path of the program:

    char cDir[150];
    GetCurrentDirectory(150,cDir);

    Now I need to open a file within this folder, however I need to add the filename at the end of cDir:

    char szPath[] = cDir & "AnnualPlan.txt"; -this doesn't work, I also tried it with a + and nothing, it gives error:

    "invalid operands to binary +"

    You can't add strings. You can concatenate them, provided you have enough room. Consider strcat. You'll want to read up on all of the string functions.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
