Maybe if you post what is IN the batch file right now we could help.

It really depends if you are also trying to change the batch file to be a C++ version that just runs the same "shell" commands, or if you are trying to change it to be equivalent C++ commands that are internal to C++.

Thank you Sane, and Arla your right i should have posted the code in my first post, thats the code i want to convert to c++, FYI "UNLOCK" is a function in the batch file...any help with that would be appreciated.

(Toggle Plain Text)

if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK

Thanks in advance.

Why's that? I thought system() was prototyped in <cstdlib> (or <stdlib.h> for the C folks).

ALl that's saying is if a particular control exists in control panel (from how I read it) goto a section called UNLOCK, look for another section in the batch program called unlock.

if (!existenceTest)
{
    // These are your immediately following statements
    ...
}else{ // This is the UNLOCK section statements
    ...
}

Pardon my saying so, but when it comes to expressing and obtaining the objective, it appears to be a case of alligator appetite overloading hummingbird ass.

whats (!existence text) ??

DaWei · Nov 2nd, 2007, 11:29 AM

See what I mean?

C++ doesn't have an EXISTS keyword. You would have to devise a test that did the same thing and use it in the expression.

You can't translate English to Falabollian unless you know both English and Falabollian. I'd recommend you learn C++ (and programming/problem solving in general) before undertaking this task.

cueballr · Nov 2nd, 2007, 11:32 AM

So you saying create a function "existencetest" ..okay(Y)
