I'm trying to get the effect of 2 char *'s in one, like so:
Code://I have these varibles... char *exepath="c:\\test\\"; char *exe="test.exe"; //and based on them, id like to run this command: system("c:\\test\\test.exe"); //however I'd like to do it based on what values the variables have. Whats the easiest way to do this? I know theres no way in C.
use std::string
Code:std::string path("C:\\test\\"); std::string exe("test.exe"); std::string fullPath = path+exe; system(fullPath.c_str());
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

What do you mean "there's no way in C"? Of course there is!
All you need is an actual buffer to store the concatenation result in, and "strcat".
But since this is the C++ forum, go with vart's example.
