PathAppend

BOOL PathAppend(
    LPTSTR  pPath,
    LPCTSTR pMore
    );

Appends one path to the end of another.

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise.

pPath: Address of the string to which the file name will be appended.
pMore: Address of the string that represents the file name.

Example:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Shlwapi.h"

void main( void )
{
	// String for path name.
	char buffer_1[] = "name_1\\name_2";
	char *lpStr1;
	lpStr1 = buffer_1;

	// String of what is being added.
	char buffer_2[] = "name_3";
	char *lpStr2;
	lpStr2 = buffer_2;

cout << "The original path string is    " << lpStr1 << endl;
cout << "The part to append to end is   " << lpStr2 << endl;
bool ret = PathAppend(lpStr1,lpStr2);
cout << "The appended path string is    " << lpStr1 << endl;
}

OUTPUT:
--------- 
The original path string is    name_1\name_2
The part to append to end is   name_3
The appended path string is    name_1\name_2\name_3
