Question

I have a C code..
i which I have following code for UNIX:

l_iRet = system( "/bin/cp -p g_acOutputLogName g_acOutPutFilePath");

when I am running the binary generated..I am getting the following error:

cp: cannot access g_acOutputLogName

Can any one help me out?

Answer 1

Presumably g_acOutputLogName and g_acOutPutFilePath are char[] (or char*) variables in your program, rather than the actual paths involved.

You need to use the values stored therein, rather than the variable names, for example:

char command[512];    
snprintf( command, sizeof command, "/bin/cp -p %s %s", 
          g_acOutputLogName, g_acOutPutFilePath );
l_iRet = system( command );
