I don't believe that system() has printf()'s capabilities.  Try doing your concatenation and then just give system() a pointer to your conctenated command.

anonymous · Answer

Like rmsith6559 said, the system() function only  accepts a single string (which should contain the command you want to run). You can use other functions, like e.g. sprintf(), to format a string, then pass that string to system().

Out of curiosity, why are trying to hide files behind other files?

anonymous · Answer

I used sprintf also but that didn't worked. you can see here: http://pastebin.com/jpavMgv8

@slotema  for your curiosity, I was just applying my knowledge of ADS in C as a software which'll be open source.
