C++ program

[shiftytech]

Alright. So, I'm writing a small program (runs in a command line interface) to do a variety of tasks, including accessing batch files in sub-directories. The program is meant to be run from a CD-Rom, which contains a number of sub-directories. One such sub-directory contains my batch files (the reason for this is to keep the CD-Rom image from becoming cluttered). My question now is, does anybody know how I can execute this task of calling a batch file from a sub-directory? The command I am using right now works only for batch files that are in the same directory as the main application. The command is as follows:


if (go == 3){
system("go.bat");
break;
}


I want to (for instance) run this batch file from a sub-directory simply called "Batch". If anyone has any idea how to complete this, I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks.

Can you use the full path?

Apparently, you use double forward/back-slashes as a folder seperator...
e.g.

system("Batch//go.bat");

Thanks for your help, but i've figured it out (and it works)... the resulting
code is as follows (for anyone that cares):

system("Batch\\go.bat");

The // searches for a network directory, whereas the \\ searches through a subdirectory, named by the "Batch." Now I have to clean up some of my batch files, and i'll be all set.. again, thanks for your help!

ahh, okay, i didn't know the difference between // and \\ (c++ wise i'm a noob)...

Cheers for posting your solution,

Oh, i'm definitely a n00b when it comes to C++, I just figured it out through trial and error.
