Shell emulator

[SlpCtrl]

I have this shell emulator:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char path[500];
GetCurrentDirectory(500,path);
std::string command;
start:
cout << path << ">";
getline( cin, command );
system(command.c_str());
goto start;
}

How do I make it so that you can use the cd function to change the directory? Right now it doesn't work.

never, EVER, use goto.

use a loop instead.

parse command before passing it to system
if you encounter cd - extract path
update path var (which should be MAX_PATH long)
and change the current dir of your program
do not call system in this case
