system("start website");

Expand Post »
Hello, I read in a thread that you could use
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. system("start http://www.daniweb.com/");
to get the page Daniweb but I am wanting to write a program that the user can enter a website that he wishes to go to then the program takes the user there.

I got this so far but got errors, I know I've done it wrong - It was only a attempt.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. // Code Shark
  2.  
  3. #include <iostream>
  4.  
  5. using namespace std;
  6.  
  7. int main() {
  8.     char website[50];
  9.  
  10.     cout << "Enter a website : ";
  11.     cin >> website;
  12.  
  13.     system("start", website);
  14.  
  15.     return 0;
  16.  
  17.     cin.get();
  18.     cin.get();
  19. }

Why don't you read a C++ reference and find out?

Your logic (or lack thereof) has stumped me. Can you explain what you mean and why you don't seem interested in doing as I suggested?

Re: system("start website");

Why would I go into a C++ reference and go looking for the command when someone like you could clearly help me quicker

Because I'll call you a lazy retard and refuse to help you for the rest of eternity. And I'll encourage everyone else to do the same thing because you're clearly not interested in learning, which is what Daniweb is about. If you don't respect us, we won't respect you.

LOL are you kidding me? I come to this forum and post a question ASKING what a code does and you throw that shit at me? You may know C++ but you are one huge dumbass. I encourage everyone to ignore fools like this.

Please quote me where I showed disrespect to anyone... (Other than just now when you proved to me that you are 12 years old)
