fnmerge

Builds a path from component parts.

Defined in header <dir.h>

Syntax

#include <dir.h>
void fnmerge(char   *path, const char *dnve, const char *dir,
               const char *name, const char *exty,

Portability

Remarks

fnmerge makes a path name from its components. The new path name is

X:\DIR\SUBDIR\NAME.EXT where

drive=X:

name=NAME

fnmerge assumes there is enough space in path for the constructed path

defined in dir.h.

fnmerge and fnsplit are invertible; if you split a given path with fnsplit, then merge the resultant components with fnmerge, you end up with path.

Return value

None.

Example

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
iinclude <dir.h>
int main (void)
{
   char s [MAXPATH];
   char drive [MAXDRIVE];
   char dir[MAXDIR];
   char file[MAXFILE];
   char ext[MAXEXT];
   getcwd (s,MAXPATH);             /* get current  working directory  */
   strcat (s, "W");                /* append a  trailing \ character  */
   fnsplit (s,drive,dir,file,ext   /* split the  string to separate elems  */
   strcpy (file,"DATA");
   strcpy(ext, ".TXT");
   fnmerge (s,drive,dir,file,ext); /* merge everything  into one string  */
   puts(s);                        /* display  resulting string */
   return 0;
}
