But why? Those are old, command prompt operations. Use the Win32 API for such tasks. See here.

Also look for SHFileOperation.
Moving / deleting a directory is more work than you probably think.
There are articles using the API here on codeproject, and some msdn articles too.

thanx,
if u able to  give any sample code to this for any one.

Nope, not able. I will point you to the search box at the top of the forum, as this is not the first time this question has been asked in october...

Hi all,
I am using strcpy function to copy strings, but its giving a error error C2664: 'strcpy' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'CString' to 'const char *'. i tried it using sprintf function but its also not working...
How can i do it. thanks in advance

If you are using VC6, the project won't be unicode by default, and CString has an implicit conversion to LPCTSTR, which would be const char *.
For later versions (which are unicode by default), that would be an implicit conversion to const wchar_t *.
Try using lstrcpy - it will switch between char and wchar_t automatically. If you change your char string to a TCHAR one, things will carry on nicely.
If this is all making you go "huh?", then you need a good google search on TCHAR, and do a bunch of reading.
Iain.

try this
CString mystring("bla bla");
mystring.GetBuffer() -> gives the pointer of buffer
try to copy this one..

That's the worst thing you could have suggested ! Did you read the documentation about this function ?
Anyway, if the cast operator doesn't work, the GetBuffer function won't work neither.

well i have used it all the time...
and it's bad because?

You have used it all the time: that's not a good reason to go suggest it to everyone on the internet.

But VCProgrammer wants to save it to another location..
If he is using one thread he can get buffer and copy and that's no harm at all.
He wants to use strcpy function to copy the content of CString to another location, and he can do it by getting the buffer pointer. After copying contents it's no more he's concern about the CString's buffer.
I do not suggest to get buffer pointer and store it and use it. That'd have been really wrong.
As I said I do this in a common DLL I ahve written and use it all my app, and still don't have any problem about losing strings or crashing any application..

Read the function documentation, you'll see why it is very bad to use it without knowing what it does.
EDIT: by the way, the GetBuffer returns a LPTSTR and the CString supports a cast operator to a TCHAR string also. So, if the conversion to a char* is not 'automatic', using GetBuffer won't solve the problem.
For more info, reaf the article I suggested in my other post.

Try this:
//CString to char pointer
1.
CString MyString = "ABCDEF";
char * szMyString = (char *) (LPCTSTR) MyString;
2.
char *pBuffer = new char[1024];
CString strBuf = "Test";
pBuffer = strBuf.GetBuffer(sizeof(pBuffer));
IN A DAY, WHEN YOU DON'T COME ACROSS ANY PROBLEMS - YOU CAN BE SURE THAT YOU ARE TRAVELLING IN A WRONG PATH

"_$h@nky_" wrote: strBuf.GetBuffer(sizeof(pBuffer));
bloody hell, that's even worst than what was proposed earlier !!!
to make it short : NEVER USE GetBuffer() FOR A CAST PURPOSE !!
you made it good with (LPCTSTR) cast operator, stick with it !
and please, read the other answers before replying

This is wrong: if UNICODE is not defined, you don't need any casts. If UNICODE is defined, the results will be completely wrong. Please read the article from Michael Dunn (see one of my previous replies) before answering such questions.
"_$h@nky_" wrote: 2.
char *pBuffer = new char[1024];
CString strBuf = "Test";
pBuffer = strBuf.GetBuffer(sizeof(pBuffer));
This is plainly wrong too, see the other replies.
Please read the previous answers before posting !

Why not
3.
char *pBuffer;
CString strBuf = "Test";
pBuffer = (char *) &strBuf;
to go out with a bang?

Here's a solution I've been using to this problem:
#define STOC(X) ((char *)(const char *)(X))
STOC stands for "String TO Char". You can't cast a CString directly to a char*, but you can do it in two steps. This has been working for me.
