C++ Copy files
Author
Hey, i want to make a program to copy save game files to a floppy. Though the name of the save files are different on very comp, each save file has a letter at the start of the file name hich is always te same but has 5 different numbers after. Also what is the a function in C++ to copy files? Thanks.
okay... try this funcs
FileFindFirst
FileFindNext (maybe it''s FindFileNext)
to cpoy a file there is a shell function SHFileOperation I guess... if you don''t want to use windows, you have to load it and the save it somewhere else manually I guess...
If you have problems constructing the filename, try something like
char buffer[1000];
sprintf(buffer,"x%05d.ext", number);
this could give you x00004.ext for number = 4
good luck

You could always use
system("copy file1 a:");
or something like that... build up the command string using sprintf as Caesar said.

Is there any articles etc i could read, can''t fnd much on google and im only a begginer o it''s quite confusing.
If this is for a game you''ve bought, just write a batch (.bat) file and put it in the game''s directory.
something like this
copy a*.erc a:\
where ''a'' is the prefix letter
