Im trying to get a string variable into a system command but it wont work, whats wrong with my code?
char cmd[200],comp[256],message[256];
cout<<" Enter computer name: 008-";
cin.getline(comp,256,'\n');cin.get();
cout<<" Enter message: ";
cin.getline(message,256,'\n');cin.get();
sprintf(cmd,"net send 008-%s",comp," %s",message);
cin.get();
sprintf follows basic printf syntax:
printf( const char* formatstring, ... )
So:
sprintf(cmd,"net send 008-%s",comp," %s",message);
should be
sprintf( cmd, "net send 008-%s %s", comp, message );

When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
