I didnt realise Michael Dunn had already corrected your use of the '10' .. didnt see his post first time round sorry all 'G'

Sounds like a really amateur virus Anyway You should issue a call for each name in the filenames and your void main shouldn't end with a ; to copy a file you have several options: i would go for a while (fread()) fwrite style or even an assembly copy

yea there is no legitamite reason for this. Well it does eat up disk space and it is a pain to clean up but i was just wondering if it was even possible to do this. -Ryan M.

A) You should NEVER assume what the directory is in your project. B) Just call GetCurrentDirectory() before the call then restore it afterward. You could encapsulate it in a class (which I have.) C) Alternatively, you could use the final directory buffer to build up the path as you go. It requires a little more parsing, but if you preserve the length to make it easier to strip the path back down, it's not difficult. (Yes, I've done it this way, especially in the DOS days.)

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> bool WriteTheFile () { std::ofstream ofs ( "MyFile.txt" ) ; if ( !ofs ) return false ; ofs << "My file contains this text" ; return true ; } Since the data is copied out to the file any text that is valid at the time of the write (in this case the '<<') can be written. IMO if you're writing in C++ then it's worth becoming familiar with the iostream part of the Standard Libary and reserving direct use of the Win32 API for special cases where you really need something non-standard.

In general no. The reason is that when you cast things such as this, you run a great risk of changing the calling convention and thus trashing your stack. However, there are a few cases where this works. But in general, it is very bad idea. Why would you want to do this? (The reason I ask is because 9 times out of 10, when someone asks this question it is because they can't get their code to compile because they aren't doing something right.) Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.
