HI,
Is the following line not throwing any warning?
add1=strcat("c:\\",add);.......................... ..............exce ption

Becos the stract takes the first parameter as a achar and what u are passing is a const char *.

Pass the string name (variable name) to which the string needs to be appended.
It will work fine

Thanks
Raghuram

Hi,

Syntax of strcat is: char * strcat(char *,const char *)

I changed code as follows..but still same error

char * str="c:\\";

add1=strcat(str,add);

what should i do to append "c:\\" to the beginning of string add?

Thanks,
Rupali

strcat doesnot check for availability of space before appending.
when u give
char * str = "c:\\";
space is allocated just enough to hold c:\\
if you want more space say 100 or so you can use
char str[100];
strcpy(str,"c:\\");
and now use strcat(str,add);
