Yup. That should work (forgot the "\\" though). I generally use
BString, though and I would probably do something like:
BString a;
a = argv[1] + BString('\\') + argv[2];
For readability reasons. One should always check that there are 3
elements in the array first (usually via argc).
I'm going to introduce a few things in the Second Edition* that will
make code like the above fairly obsolete. I don't actually do the above
internally since I've got code that deals with command-line options.
* I know, I know...I keep talking about Second Edition. I've got a few
things I want to work out first in my own code and make sure they are
solid before writing anything else in the book. As I say in the book,
the code contained within is heavily-tested production code used in my
own software products. Most book authors hack together examples. I use
real world code from my own software.
