Thanks AndrewHunter your example works.
Strange though all I changed was this:

struct tm* tm = localtime(&now);

tm->tm_mday += numDays;
mktime(tm);


To this:

I've tried:

cout << mktime(tm);
But that gives the same results

So far I have this bit of code for adding number of days to a date using the time.h module:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int numDays;
printf ("Enter number of days to add ");
scanf...

Thanks, that's so much easier.

I have a sort of a unique problem.
I want to write to a text file using user input with a char array.
But if the user doesn't write the exact number of characters for the...

Thanks,
Funny after taking one more look at my code I saw the semi colon in the if statement.
I came to edit my post and saw your responses.

That appears to have worked, code runs fine now....

This is driving me nuts.
I am following this tutorial: C Strings - C++ Tutorial - Cprogramming.com

Program compiled fine it just doesn't do what it should.
It won't give the correct number of...

Damn! that was easy.
What about copying different file types.

system("copy \"c:\\Documents and Settings\\%USERNAME%\\My Documents\\*.txt\" "\\*.jpg\ c\\"

I new I had it wrong, just needed some one like you to show me the light :)
That totally works now.

Now on to the second part of my quest.
What if I don't know the user name, is there some way...

Not sure what you're saying quzah, the path is in quotes.

system("copy \ "c:\\Documents and Settings\\rocko\\My Documents\\*.txt c:\\"");

Yes, I put the code into my program and ran it.
That part of the program runs fine, returns list of 5 txt files.

system("dir \"c:\\Documents and Settings\\my_user_name\\My Documents\\*.txt\"");


Funny, that works, I have 5 txt files in that folder.
But I still get the "file not located" error when it tries...

Hi There!
I'm trying to copy all the txt files in a directory and move to another directory.
But I keep getting "System cannot locate file" error.
Here is my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include...

Why thank you.
Yeah I spotted that after taking a second, a third and even a fourth look.

Yes it sure would.
I totally forgot the scanf() function.
Thanks.

Now if i could could figure out why I'm getting a segmentation fault that would br great.
Time to break out KDbg.

The switch/case part of the function doesn't execute.

Is this because the function returns no value/has no parameters?
Tried adding the 'userResponse' variable as a parameter but that
didn't...

Thanks..
I got it working correctly now.

oh damn I don't believe I overlooked that, thanks.

But after re-compiling it still doesn't iterate to the next bit of code .

Another simple one that's got me stumped.

This compiles fine with out error's but when I run it, it never get's
passed the "How many questions would you like?" .

When I input a number it...

DOH!

I new it was something simple.
thanks.

I'm making a simple roll the dice game that displays your the winner if you roll a 7 or 11.
But my 'OR' operator doesn't seem to be working.
It always displays your the winner regardless the roll...

AHA! I knew it.
Complete noob mistakes.
Thanks for the help guys.
Everything is cool now.

Hi there!
