Copying self...?
I'm writing a program for win32. I need to know how to make it copy itself to LOCATION_X.
here's my code.
any ideas?Code:#include <windowsx.h> #include <commctrl.h> #include <string.h> #include <conio.h> #include <stdio.h> #define LOCATION_X "c:\\test.exe" int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hinst, HISTANCE hinstPrev, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { CopyFile( ????NEED HELP HERE????, LOCATION_X, FALSE); return 0; }

Oh, and this is in LCC-win32. (not DJGPP) all I need to know is how to get the name of the program that is running (itself)

Something like -
TCHAR buff[256];
GetModuleFileName(NULL,buff,256);
buff will contain the full path.
...hmm - self-replicating file == virus ??
You get the full path & filename of the current process with the 'lpCmdLine' param passed to WinMain ( I think). If you don't then you certainly will with the GetCommandLine fn. In either case you will have to parse it to get the info you require.
Hope that helps some.
Edited: Actually go with Sorensen's vastly superior 'GetModuleFileName'
suggestion.
