system variables?

[cheesywillie@gmail.com]

How do i get a string variable to be included into a system command?
For example:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
string reply;
cout << "What do you want to say? ";
cin >> reply;
system("net send 192.168.***.*** "); //how do i get the string
variable, "reply" after the IP?
system("PAUSE") ;

return 0;
}

any help would be appreciated thx

This is usually accomplished by having a _variable_ of type 'std::string'
and forming it from different parts during run-time, and then passing it
to 'system' function:

string command("net send blah ");
system((command + reply).c_str()) ;
