Trying to output to a directory other than the root of where the program is running

I'm trying to have the output of a program go to a folder other than the one where the program is running from, but a subfolder of the folder its in.

Ex)

Folder1 with program and Folder2
Folder2 within Folder1 where i want the program to output to.

currently my syntax is:

Code:

---

FileName = "\\Profiles" += "\\" += NewPlayerName += ".html";
    ofstream Playername( FileName.c_str() );

---

I've also tried:

Code:

---

"\Profiles\" += NewPlayerName += ".html";

---

In all these attempts I think the compiler (Dev-C++) is misinterpreting the "\"s, not to say this is compiler specefic, I think I just don't know the proper syntax for this sort of command.

Try
FileName = "/Profiles" + "/" + NewPlayerName + ".html";

Code:

---

FileName = "\\Profiles" += "\\" += NewPlayerName += ".html";

---

syntax is wrong. Don't use "+=" operator.

Code:

---

FileName = "\\Profiles\\" + NewPlayerName + ".html";

puts the file into the subfolder Profiles of the working folder.
