Inserting Numbers into a command

Code:

cout << "Shutdown:\n";
//cin >> seconds;
system("shutdown -s -f -t"); //I want to place the seconds right after -t

How would I input seconds into my system command?

Well you could do
[Highlight=cpp]

int iSeconds;
cin >> iSeconds;

Sleep(iSeconds*1000); //1000 Millisecond = 1 Second
system("shutdown");

[/Highlight]

Should work, Test for me

Thanks, but now how would I do it for this type of problem?

Code:

system("cls");
cout << "Run:\n";
string item;
cin >> item;
//OpenProcess()//This will be whatever they typed in item

I want them to type the program they want to open. It will store it inside of item, then it will use it in OpenProcess

I think you want to save what they type in then open up later?

In that case, make it like:

Code:

char *xxxxx;

void "w/e function is"(void){
char *xxxxx = (w/e they typed in here);

OpenProcess(xxxxx);
}

char shut[100];
int iTime = 6000;
wsprintf(shut,"shutdown -s -f -t %d",iTime);
system(shut);

for the first problem... second problem i dont really get what u mean... (if its what i guess u can use the solution i gave u also for this)

Thank you, but can anyone help with my other problem

system(item);

Why wouldn't that work?

It just sounds weird.
