    Problem: How to make an customized System command

    I want to make a system command, which is special.
    That means, for example that you can move files. MV ( I'm talking from Linux) is always the same, but not the file and the target folder. And how I can bring this in the system command?
    Because the files can change and so on...

    I think you're asking for something like this:
    Code:
    char filename[100] = "a_file";
    char dirname[100] = "a_directory";
    char cmd[250];
    
    sprintf(cmd, "mv %s %s", filename, dirname);
    system(cmd);
    The cost of software maintenance increases with the square of the programmer's creativity. - Robert D. Bliss
