_tfopen()

[grubbymaster]

Hi

I'm building an application for Pocket PC's , and i want to save data
in a file in a specified path.I'm saving the file like this FILE *f =
_tfopen(TEXT("profiles.txt"),TEXT("a"));Can someone provide a method or

aexample on how to specify a certain path , like for example :
"\Program Files\MyApp".I've tried FILE *f = _tfopen(TEXT("\\Program
FIles\\MyApp\\profiles.txt"),TEXT("a")); and it didn't work.

The correct way to represent
\Program Files\MyApp\profiles.txt
as a C string literal is
"\\Program Files\\MyApp\\profiles.txt"

Beyond that, I don't think we can help you here. There's no _tfopen()
or TEXT() function in standard C. You'll need to ask in a forum
appropriate for your platform. There seems to be a newsgroup called
"microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer", but I don't know anything about
it.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

You're welcome. And if you have any C questions in the future, we
appreciate standard English ("you", not "u", for example), and please
read <http://cfaj.freeshell.org/google/>.

(slightly on-topic as the same issues can arise with fopen on any platform)

-- most implementations of fopen won't create directories that don't exist
(seems unlikely to be the problem here)

-- you haven't got another instance of the program lying around holding the
file open? (More generally, do you know if it's a namespace issue or a
file-access issue?)

Allow me to be the first to say this - and I say it from the deepness of my
heart, with all the kindness and love one has come to associate with the
helpful posts you get in this newsgroup:

Not portable. Can't discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

My dear, dear Kenny, allow me to be the first to say this, and I say
it from the deepness of my heart, with all the kindness and love et
caetera, you sound like bitterness incarnate.

Please don't feed the "regular".

Seriously, guy, if they are amused by what I write, why should you piss on
their cornflakes?
