Hi,
I want to do the following:
system("copy c:\\mystuff\\afile.txt c:\\windows\\documents and settings\\administrator\\desktop")
This fails because of the spaces in documents and settings.
Have searched the forum without any luck.
Is there a solution?
Thank you

system("copy \"c:\\mystuff\\afile.txt\" \"c:\\windows\\documents and settings\\administrator\\desktop\"")
At the console prompt, you'd surround the file paths with quotes, so you need to insert double quotes into the Eu string. That's what \" syands for.
