Thread: Another CMD Line Batch File to C++ Question

I am trying to follow a working example of something I have done a couple of years ago:

Code:

#include <cstdlib> 
int main(void) 
{ 
    std::system("\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Runtime Software\\DriveImage XML\\dixml.exe\" /bc /tD:\\Backup\\DIXML %date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10% /r- /s- /c2 /v"); 
    return 0; 
}

After making a working batch file:

Code:

forfiles.exe /p "C:\Users\TESTING\Desktop\Text Test" /s /m *.txt /d -153 /c "cmd /c del @path"

I am getting a bunch of errors with the following:

Code:

 #include<cstdlib>
int main(void)
{
std::system("\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\forfiles.exe\" /p "\"C:\\Users\\TESTING\\Desktop\\Text Test\" /s /m *.txt /d -153 /c "\"cmd /c del @path\");
return 0;
}

What am I doing wrong?

When the CMD window opens, I see the following:

The filename directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I just got it working by adding another "\

BEFORE:

Code:

 std::system("\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\forfiles.exe\" /p \"C:\\Users\\Longhair\\Desktop\\Text Test\" /s /m *.txt /d -153 /c \"cmd /c del @path\"");

AFTER:

Code:

 std::system("\"\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\forfiles.exe\" /p \"C:\\Users\\Longhair\\Desktop\\Text Test\" /s /m *.txt /d -153 /c \"cmd /c del @path\"");

Thanks for the help
