Calling programs from c++

[d-boy22]

Im trying to call a program from my c++ program, ive got it to work if i put the program im calling in c:/ but if i put it in a folder with a space in its name like 'C:/Program Files' it doesnt see anything after the space, if there is a better way to call programs please let me know. Help will be greatly appreciated.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout <<"enter: ";
    char a[100];
    cin.getline(a , 100);
    system(a);
   
system("pause");
}

use quotes around the filename.

Boy, my eyesight is very bad.
I can't find the file name that is not in quotes.

  system(a);

should be system(strcat("\"",strcat(a,"\"")))

or something along those lines. regardless... whatever is in a should be quoted.
