Would that be ...

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
int system (const char * string);
system() executes a command specified in string by calling /bin/sh
-c string, and returns after the command has been completed. During
execution of the command, SIGCHLD will be blocked, and SIGINT and
SIGQUIT will be ignored.

You could possibly just echo it to the file ... there must be a better way though (grin)

In the file makeFoo2.c I have a main function that prints the code that will end up in the file
foo2.c. The function foo2() prompts for who you want to say 'Hello' to, reads the string from stdin and returns that string.

The file foo2.c , which contains the defintion of the function foo2() needs to be generated by an invocation of makeFoo2.c file.

I am not sure how to do this all.

If any ideas, please help.

Thanks
