Thread: More newbie questions - file and directory

Hi!
I would like to know if it is possible for me to create a subdirectory and write to it?
For example,
instead of ...
b_file.open("1.txt", ios::nocreate);

Do I do this?
b_file.open("\txt\1.txt", ios::nocreate);

The backslash character is a special character used for escape sequences (\t, \n).
If you want a backslash in your string you need to put an extra backslash before it:

Code:

b_file.open("C:\\txt\\1.txt", ios::nocreate);

You could always try...

Code:

#include <windows.h>
..
	CreateDirectory("txt",NULL);
	SetCurrentDirectory("txt");
	b_file.open("1.txt", ios::nocreate);
