[RESOLVED] How to turn backslash to forward slash in windows environmental variable?

I necessarily need to change backslash to forward slash in windows environmental variable. Do you have any suggestions how can I get %programdata% path with forward slash after systemDrive?

Code:

---

TCHAR path[_MAX_PATH];
    _tcscpy(path, programdata);
    _tcscat(path, _T("\\myfile.txt"));

---

I found a way. Not very comfortable though.

Solved:

Code:

---

TCHAR path[_MAX_PATH];
    _tcscpy(path, systemdrive);
    _tcscat(path, _T("/programdata"));

---

No, it's not a solution because programdata is not always the system drive subfolder:(

Solved:

Code:

---

typedef std::basic_string<TCHAR> tstring;
 tstring pathbasic = tstring(programdata) + _T("\\myfile.txt");
 std::replace(pathbasic.begin(), pathbasic.end(), _T('\\'), _T('/'));

Why are you using environment variables when there are apis to retrieve this data?

Actually, this didn't help me. I spent a lot of time to understand that API I used does not recognize non-latin letters.

My point is there are api's (at least on Windows) that render using environment variables unnecessary and obsolete. The replacment api's (like other Windows apis) also support UNICODE.
