Question

I’m having a very strange problem. I’m using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on Windows 7 x64. I have this simple code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    fclose( fopen("hakuna", "w") );
    return 0;
}

It works very well when I compile it. When I go to the debug folder and double click on the exe it creates the file. But when I open the console and type in the destination of the exe and press “Enter” nothing happens. If there’re some prinf-s they will appear, but the file is never created.
I’ll be very grateful if someone is able to help me. I really have no idea why this’s happening

Answer 1

It’s being created at your default directory – or wherever your cmdline active directory is.

For example, the cmdline will look like something like this.

C:\Users\Akari>

That’s the directory where the file is being made.
