fprintf in directory

[rkooij]

Hi,

Shoot me if I'm wrong but I can't find any concord information about this!
How on earth will I be able to create a file in a directory relative to the program directory? I've tried a million different ways, like defining a prefix string, putting the directory in the line where info_filename is created, or in the line where test_info is opened... none of them seem to work. Find the snippets below:

now = time(NULL);
struct tm *t = localtime(&now);

mkdir("test_files");

strftime(info_filename, sizeof(info_filename), "i_%d%m%y_%H%M%S.txt", t);
strftime(data_filename, sizeof(data_filename), "d_%d%m%y_%H%M%S.dat", t);

test_info = fopen(info_filename, "w");
CAN_data = fopen(data_filename, "w");

So I would like the txt and dat file to be created inside the directory test_files.
Hope someone can help me out here! Thanks very much for any input.

concord information? What's concord information?
Could it be Plane English or Fast Talking maybe?

strftime(info_filename, sizeof(info_filename), "./test_files/i_%d%m%y_%H%M%S.txt", t);

Wish it was that simple really, I've tried that before but for some reason it doesn't work. Here's what I tried and what the result is:

    strftime(info_filename, sizeof(info_filename), "./test_files/di_%d%m%y_%H%M%S.txt", t);
    strftime(data_filename, sizeof(data_filename), "d_%d%m%y_%H%M%S.dat", t);

Result: i_090306_092822.td_090306_092822.dat (inside the test_files dir) and d_090306_092822.dat in the root.

And if I try for both:

    strftime(info_filename, sizeof(info_filename), "./test_files/di_%d%m%y_%H%M%S.txt", t);
    strftime(data_filename, sizeof(data_filename), "./test_files/d_%d%m%y_%H%M%S.dat", t);

The program hangs....

Any ideas?

Here's what I get from the translator:

English: Concord
Dutch: concreet
French: concret
German: konkret
Swedish: konkret
Papiamento: konkreto

Is it really? Ok thanks! Lol, I used concord quite some times before due to that stupid translator

Your strings are large enough I assume?

[rkooij]

Your strings are large enough I assume?

char info_filename[255], data_filename[255]

Should be sufficient?

Damn... this is weird... cant remember having changed anything though it works now! I hate this....
Anyway, thanks for the help!
