I need to know how to put multiple previously declared strings together to form a system command in a console application. I can get a SINGLE "string" to work, but how can I have 3 put together, declared by input?

Also needs to work with other text that ISN'T declared by input.

This is what I have so far, don't bother commenting on it, I'm a complete noob to this.

Code:
char myArray[75];

    char myArray2[75];

    char myArray3[75];

    cout << "Please enter the directory of the first file to bind: ";

    cin.getline( myArray, 75, '\n');

    cout << "Please enter the directory of the second file to bind: ";

    cin.getline( myArray2, 75, '\n');

    cout << "Please enter the directory of the output file: ";

    cin.getline( myArray3, 75, '\n');

    system("copy /b", myArray, " + ", myArray2, myArray3);

    system("PAUSE");

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;

I would do this:

Code:
string command;

command += "copy /b ";

command += myArray;

command += " + ";

command += myArray2;

command += " ";

command += myArray3;

system(command.c_str());
