I am new to this forum. Due to obsolete hardware and software I have had to migrate from Windows XP and my Borland Builder software. I have had to reinvest in a new computer running Windows 11. My search for a new IDE led me to CodeBlocks and I am slowly learning how to use it. I am a novice in Windows programming and what little coding I do is for my own use. The configuration I am using is CodeBlocks version 20.03 with MinGW and wxWidgets version 3.05.
I have run into a peculiar issue trying to use the C language file IO. What I want to do is use the file open dialog from the Dialog tab to select the file to use and then provide the returned file path to the C fopen function to open the file for reading and writing. The file path returned by the dialog uses the backslash character as the separator between folders. My attempts using fopen were only successful if the separator was a forward slash. Is there means for changing the separator character used by the file open dialog?
Thanks for your help,
Joe
