In cmd.exe, I can execute the command "copy c:\hello.txt c:\hello2.txt" and it worked fine. But in my C program, I ran this piece of code and got the following error:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
system("copy c:\hello.txt c:\hello2.txt");
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Output: The system cannot find the file specified.
Anybody know what is going on here?
