If i do
it doesnt happen anything.Code:execlp("mplayer.exe","mplayer.exe",ComboBox1->Text,NULL);
All the path are corect and if i replace ComboBox1->Text with the path it has in it like:
it works just fine.Code:execlp("mplayer.exe","mplayer.exe","C:\Movie.avi",NULL);
What could the problem be?
I use borland C++ builder!
Thank you!
Perhaps your combo box stores things as a length, and the data (meaning there is no expicit \0).
Copy the data to another array, and make sure there is a \0.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
can execlp receive ansistrings as parameters ?
Just char* AFAIK, unless you have something OS specific going on.

well ComboBox1->Text is AnsiString... how can I convert it to char* ?
i have this:
Code:void __fastcall TMain::Button3Click(TObject *Sender) { AnsiString S="-sub "; S=S+ComboBox2->Text; if(CheckBox1->Checked) S=S+" -fs "; else S=S+" "; S=S+ComboBox1->Text; ShowMessage(S); // execlp("mplayer.exe","mplayer.exe",S,NULL); }

*shrug*
Read the manual pages on AnsiString and it's methods?

well... i've done something like this:
but still doesn't workCode:char *parametrii=S.c_str(); execlp("mplayer.exe","mplayer.exe",parametrii,NULL);
