Hey guys. Im trying to open a file the user entered.
cout<<"Please enter the file name";
cin>>name;
cout<<"Do you want to open the file? [yes] or [no]"<<endl;
cin>>pick;
if(pick=="yes")
system("C:\\wmplayer.exe fname");
else
cout<<"Good bye";How do i get the value thats in fname to be printed their so it can open the file.
Lets say the value of fname was movie.avi. The user entered movie.avi and fname is a string that stores that value
Concatenate "C:\\wmplayer.exe " and fname into a char* and use that variable.
Concatenate "C:\\wmplayer.exe " and fname into a char* and use that variable.
So then ill have
char *fileopen;
fileopen=&fname;?
Anyone else has a suggestion?
Im not understanding what walt wants me to do. If i point the char to the string its gong to give me an error. Can someone else please give me another suggestion been trying to work something out for hours. The entire code im trying to build is complete but this part is giving me hell
