Ok how would I make a program take one file (thats not a text file) and save with a different name like there is a file with asdf.7z and I want the program to save a copy of it as qwer.7z how?
And is there any way to do something like this:

cin>>imput;
system(""<<imput);

Thats the best I can make an example so those are me questions.

Not sure what your trying to accomplish in your code but you could investigate the rename function that resides in cstdio or stdio.h.

int rename(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath);

and for your system()-call example, try something like this:

string cmd;
cout << "What command would you like to run?" << endl;
cin >> cmd;

cout << "Trying to run: system(\"" << cmd << "\")" << endl;
system(cmd.c_str());
