writing a file to a different directory

**Kings** · 03-04-2003

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to get C++ to write a file to another directory, since it normally writes to the same directory that the program is in?

Thanks

All you need to do is create the file in the directory you want.

To be more specific: you can use absolute paths for your filenames (although platform dependant):

Code:

const char *fn = "C:\\mydir\\myfile.txt";

Or, use _chdir()
