How to add two pointers?

Question

How to add parameterB and pictureName? I got an error that says: '+': cannot add two pointers.

  CString parameterA = _T("\"") + mycustompath + _T("identify.exe\"");  
  CString parameterB = _T(" -format \"%w\" ") + _T("\"") + mycustompath;
  CString parameterC = parameterB + pictureName + _T("\"");

Ask how to achieve your goals, not how to walk what you perceive to be the first step. In your case, the step went over the precipice. — Kerrek SB, Jul 07 '11 at 01:30
You're not trying to add two pointers. You're trying to add two strings. What is the actual question here? — Cody Gray - on strike, Jul 07 '11 at 08:15

if you replace all _T("...") with CString( _T("...") ) it will work 100%

You should make CStrings out of all the string literals, then it should work.
