Question

I have the python code… but how do i do it in c++?
I don’t have much experience with c++. What i want is to make an exe that will be put as autorun in an cd. It has to open the application.ini file in my cd with xulrunner.exe in my cd. As the path will vary in each computer i hav to do something like this.

import subprocess
import os
path= os.getcwd()
final = path + '/xulrunner.exe ' + path + '/application.ini'
print final
os.system('final')
subprocess.call(['C:\\Temp\\a b c\\Notepad.exe'])

Answer 1

os.system() is system(), in Win32 getcwd() is GetCurrentDirectory()

Probably should stick to char buffers for strings. So, something like (untested, untried)

 #include <stdio.h>

 int main(int ac, char **av) {
    char path[MAX_PATH+1];
    GetCurrentDirectory(MAX_PATH, path);
    char final[MAX_PATH * 2 + 100];
    sprintf(final, "%s /xulrunner.exe %s/application.ini", path, path);
    printf("%s", final);
    system(final);
    // not sure what the notepad call is for, probably another system call
    return 0;
 }
