Can System XCopy source paths from textboxes?
Hi, can someone help?
A Typical xcopy:
System("xcopy /y /s /e /f source path destination path").
Is it possible for the xcopy to locate the source path and destination path from
a text box within the same form?
The form has two folderbrowserdialogs which paste the paths selected into
two textboxes. source being textBox1 and destination being textBox2.
I thought it would be a simple case of naming the textboxes in place of source
and destination.
For example:
System("xcopy /y /s /e /f textBox1 textBox2");
I also tried:
System("xcopy /y /s /e /f textBox1.Text textBox2.Text");
However, they don't work, but don't report any errors either.
can someone suggest something?
I can't seem to find the answer browsing the internet.
Thanks

In the case of MFC:
Code:
CString strSystem;
CString strSource;
CString strDestination;
textBox1.GetWindowText(strSource);
textBox2.GetWindowText(strDestination);
strSystem.Format(_T("xcopy /y /s /e /f %s %s"), strSource, strDestination);
System(strSystem);

Thanks for the reply VictorN,
That looked perfect for the job.
Unfortunately i'm using the free edition of visual c++ 2008 express.
The Microsoft Foundation Class library isn't included.
do you know of an alternative?
Thanks

Use TCHAR[MAX_PATH] character arrays to get texts from controls and _stprintf to format the System string.
