Is there a command that I could rename (or create) a txt file
having the name of the user's input?
For example...
If the user inputs "FILENAME", I want the program to be able to
either create a file named "FILENAME.txt"
or to
rename a pre-existing file to "FILENAME.txt"
in stdio.h there is a rename()
syntax is
rename(oldname,newname);
I still could not work it out.
Here is the coding.
cout<<"Enter the name of file"
cin>>newname;
FILE *create;
create = fopen ("oldname.txt","w+");
fseek (create, SEEK_SET, 2);
fclose (create);
rename("oldname.txt",newname);
But the filename remains to be "oldname.txt".
What am I doing wrong?
i created a file renaming program using turboc++ ver 3
it was something like this
----
char new[12],old[12];
cout<<"enter old name ";
gets(old);
cout<<"enter new name ";
gets(new);
rename(old,new);
---
it worked except that the file name should be in dos format.
it could be because you haven't defined the size for newname
try that
Ya that code is correct, I made one myself, the only difference is I used cin>> instead of gets();
