Nick,

I am not being mean. I'm trying to help you enjoy programming and accomplish your goals much more rapidly.

My suggestion is that you purchase a book or borrow one from the library on programming in C/C++. If you don't, you'll just frustrate yourself. The sooner you do, the better off you will be.

What you are describing is a two fold problem.

#1... escape characters inside of a string. You need to know why there are escape characters and what those escape characters are. They are pretty much standard across all programming languages.

#2... system simply issues a command. For example, if at the command prompt you type "Picture.jpg", if the command prompt returns an invalid command so will system. There are all sorts of tricks for getting around this, but you probably want to use the Functions4U package in the bazaar. This may/maynot require you using a source code management tool which is something else you should read up on after a basic programming book.

Again, not being mean just trying to start you off on the right track, the one with the least frustration and most productivity.

Jeremy
