Thread: Drag and Drop files/Read and write files

Hello everyone,

How to make a C program that reads a file when it is dragged over it? (.exe).

I'd also like to know more about writing files with C (links possibly ? ;D).

Thanks in advance,

Scout

When you drag a file over a program, the pathname to that file is passed to the program as if it were a command-line argument (so you can find it in argv[1]). So you can use that with fopen to open the file.
