just failing to open a file at specified location/directory

[winner wei]

Hi,

when I wanted to open a file at a specified directory for writing, running it in Cygwin, the opening just failed. It is extremely simple, like this:

if((fp=fopen("C:\cygdrive\c\home\user\data\filename", "w"))==NULL)
{
handling exception...
}

I also tried a few other ways for the pathname, like C:\home\user\data\filename; C:/cygdrive/c/home/user/data/filename; no one works. It only worked when just used a bare name without any pathname before it, but not the location as you hoped.

Any one can give some help? Thanks a lot!!!

David
