Creating Files

Seb · 06-13-2003

I want to know how to create files in a specific directory, like placing it in exactly C:\Program Files\myfile\w00t.txt, and not just putting it in C:\C compiler\bin\myfile\w00t.txt. so far, i've been using fstream, but i know there are other ways

Easy! just put C:\Program Files\myfile\w00t.txt instead of w00t.txt...

Code:

ofstream out( "C:\\Program Files\\myfile\\w00t.txt" );

But what if you would make a loop within the program?? Would it create a text file over and over and over and over and over and over again??

What if you would change this:

ofstream out( "C:\\Program Files\\myfile\\w00t.txt" );

Into this:

ofstream out( "C:\\Program Files\\myfile\\w00t.exe" );

And if the program would be 'evil' and self-replicating.. than.. well, you know what

it would make it obvious which program was doing it if you did it that way, and it would keep overwriting the same file... you'd have to use a variable that changes with each loop to create mulitple files, and the system would most likely stop it very fast...

Code:

...
ofstream out;
int i;
char filename[256];

for(i=0;i<32000;i++)
{
   strcpy(filename,"C:\\Program Files\\myfile\\w00t.exe");
   strcat(filename,i);
   strcat(filename,".exe");

   out.open( filename,ios::trunc);
   ...
   out.close();
}
...

i'm not sure if that works, but you could try it... i would make teh loop alot smaller tho...
