Space in directory line

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
system("start C:\\Program Files\\TikiConv erter.exe");
}


this wont work because Program Files is two words. Do you know what i could do to run this, this says C:\Program does not exist.

thanks

Try:

system("start C:\\Progra~1\\TikiConverter.exe");

I'm sure there's a better way, though.

HI,
Sinc there is a space in the path you have to use extra quotes like this

system("start \"C:\\Program Files\\TikiConv erter.exe\"");
Better check the slash before the quotes

Thanks
