MoveFile() help

Im am attempting to create proggram that can install files from C:\ to their needed locations in combat arms folder. It compiles with no problem but
so far i have only been able to create the folder, it woln't copy the file into the new folder.

Here's my code.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>


using namespace std; 
  
int main () 
{ 
    CreateDirectory("C:\\test", NULL); //self explanitory
    cout<<"attempting to move file..." << endl;
    MoveFile("C:\\test.txt" "C:\\test", NULL); //heres the problem
    cout<<"Press ENTER to exit..." << endl;
    cin.get(); 

    return 0;
}

Anyone have any ideas why it wolnt copy? I am using Dev-C++.

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
CreateDirectory("C:\\test", NULL); //self explanitory
cout<<"attempting to move file..." << endl;
MoveFile("C:\\test.txt", "C:\\test", NULL); //heres the problem
cout<<"Press ENTER to exit..." << endl;
cin.get();

return 0;
}

try MoveFile("C:\\test.txt", "C:\\test", NULL); //heres the problem <- with coma there , it might work? No time to try
