Im trying to open a file. The user enters the name of the file they want to open example
string fname;
string pick;
cin>>fname;
cout<<"Do you want to open the file?";
cin>>pick;
if(pick=="yes")
system("wmplayer.exe fname");
else
cout<<"Thanks for your time;Can someone show me how the replace the fname above with the name the user entered or a way to tell the system command that thats the file i want to open. Lets say fname is sound.mp3
concatenate the two strings before calling system
string fname;
string pick;
cin>>fname;
cout<<"Do you want to open the file?";
cin>>pick;
if(pick=="yes")
{
string command;
command = "umplayer.exe " + fname;
system(command.c_str());
}
else
cout<<"Thanks for your time;concatenate the two strings before calling system
string fname; string pick; cin>>fname; cout<<"Do you want to open the file?"; cin>>pick; if(pick=="yes") { string command; command = "umplayer.exe " + fname; system(command.c_str()); } else cout<<"Thanks for your time;

Gee, what was it I said? Oh yeah,
Concatenate "C:\\wmplayer.exe " and fname into a char* and use that variable.
