How can I add %ProgramFiles% to a system() call?

Hello

How can I add %ProgramFiles% to a system() call?

Here is my current code (using Dev-C++);

Code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    system("diskmgmt.msc");
    system(""%ProgramFiles%"\\Symantec\\LiveUpdate\\LUALL.exe");
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Please tell me how to get this line: system(""%ProgramFiles%"\\Symantec\\LiveUpdate\\LUALL.exe"); to work.

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

PS: Once I've gotten this to work, I'd also like to know how to stop the command prompt window from appearing.

 

Looks from your other post like you've already sussed it but as with the backslash you also have to escape quotes to include them in a string.

You want system to execute the following:

Code:

"%ProgramFiles%\Symantec\LiveUpdate\LUALL.exe"

So the code to do this is:

Code:

system("\"%ProgramFiles%\\Symantec\\LiveUpdate\\LUALL.exe\"");

 

Thanks
