Combine 2 strings

Time passed by merrily as we celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas is about to come and have you ever prepared for the happiness that you will have?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
time_t T;
FILE *t;
time(&T);
char PATH[256]="c:/" + ctime(&T) + ".txt";

t=fopen(PATH,"r");
fclose(PATH);
return 0;
}

---

I want the PATH to be c:/TIME FOR NOW.txt, but the problem is it turns an error, can anyone help me out?

Aren't defaults for variables like constants that you can't use functions and such?

I'm not as advance as you think, please be amplified.

You need to use strcpy and strcat. Does anybody EVER read the FAQ???

Please show me the code.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
FILE *t;
char PATH[256];
strcpy(PATH,  "c:/");
strcat(PATH, ctime(time()));
strcat(PATH, ".txt");
t=fopen(PATH,"r"); // this could cause problems: "rt" would be preferred
fclose(t);  // change here
return 0;
}

---

ctime takes time_t as argument, not time_t*.

probably logical error: you're opening a file for reading that will most likely not exist.

What type of problem will it might cause. What does rt mean? What does it do?

b opens the file for binary mode - if you want to save numbers and such. t opens it for text mode. If you don't specify one of those, the content of the global variable _fmode is used, so you can either set a variable that may affect ALL files, or you simply have to put up with the mode fortune chooses for you.
