System() function in C showing buggy output

I am using the system() function in C to run a system command. While using the system(), the command I am using is:

system("C:\splint-3.1.2\bin\splint first.c>output.txt");

However, the output of this is not being correctly sent to the txt file. To be more specific, the txt file is created, however the output is not appended to the file.

On running the same command from the CMD, the output is correctly sent to the txt file.

Any idea on what's going wrong?

Escape your backslashes so the compiler interprets them correctly:

system("C:\\splint-3.1.2\\bin\\splint first.c>output.txt");
