Windows file paths in fstream...?

[Sejoro]

Hey,

In my spare time, I've been programming things that require opening files on a windows machine. I know in Unix the <name of file>.open("<pa th">); command will use the directory given, but it wont seem to in Windows. I keep getting errors when I try to do anything like inFile.open("C: \Myfolder\myfil e.txt"); What am I doing wrong?

The backslash character '\' is a special character used to make escape characters, such as \n or \t. To get an actual backslash, you need to...backslash it. So wherever you need '\', put in '\\'.

Sweet, thanks. This has been bothering me forever.
