Copy to string

i need to copy Data.cFileName (it holds the file name) into the string that holds the rest of the path how would i do this :confused:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        HANDLE Find;
        WIN32_FIND_DATA Data;
        int decide;
        string path = "c:\\Documents and Settings\\wmorrish\\Desktop\\Other\\";

        Find = FindFirstFile("C:\\Documents and Settings\\wmorrish\\Desktop\\Other\\*.exe", &Data);

---

path += Data.cFileName;

If I am understanding you correctly.

i cant seem to use strcmp to copy it into the string that holds the rest of the path

a) As you are using the 'string' class, you want <string> not <cstring>
b) 'string' has + and += operators defined

If you were using C-style strings, then you'd want strcat() from <cstring>

You can check cppreference.com for additional info on these.

*edit*
Drat! Beaten.

Anyway, strcmp compares strings. strcat concatenates strings. But they must be C-style strings. The string class is much nicer to use.

thanks i got it working my C++ basics are not that solid i went straight to Direct x and OpenGL/WIN 32 maybe i should go back and learn them

this sounds like a virus

Upon seeing the title, and then author, I immediately became suspicious, trying to figure out what they were really up to... ;)
