in my program i'm using about 10 text files to store results. The program creates these files. I would now like the program to create a windows folder into which i could put the text files....how do you do this.??

thanks

What I understand you are using c++ in windows environment. You want to create a folder to create those files.

To create folder use CreateDirectory() function.
While writing you can use SetCurrentDirectory.

Hope it works...

sorry, but i didn't really understand that very well??!!!

what arguments do you have to put in to the createdirectory function????

you will want to look into mkdir and chdir.

Suppose you want to save to C:\Temp\Data

if(!chdir("C:\\Temp&quot)
{
mkdir("C:\\Temp"
chdir("C:\\Temp"
}

// current location C:\TEmp

if(!chdir("C:\\Temp\\Data&quot)
{
mkdir("C:\\Temp\\Data"
chdir("C:\\Temp\\Data"
}

Now the directory exists for you to write files to
