In .Net programming, bring in the System.Diagnostics namespace (don't know how to do this in C++, only VB.Net), and call Process.Start("C:\program.exe"). You can find additional parameters in the Object Browser.

here's a really quick inefficient way to do it if you're absolutely desperate (and using windows):
CODE system("c:\myProgram.exe"); system just pops open a command prompt and runs the bits in the quotation marks. good luck! |

Add #include <cstdlib> to the beginning of the file for switch's technique.
-And if I'm correct, you don't really have to type system("c:\myProgram.exe"), you can just type system("myProgram") 1) because myProgram is assumed to be myProgram.exe 2) MS-DOS understands local commands ~I'm working on an actual Win-DOS system here, should work on an XP.

When you run the system(FILENAME) to run another executable from within a program. This should be kept in mind while specifying the path for the FILE.
if the path is c:\fort\fort.exe it should be entered as "c:\\fort\\fort.exe"; to enter a '\' character in a string '\' should be entered twice.. therefore the function should be called as follows system("c:\\fort\\fort.exe"); Thanx for more info .. mail me at jibranbhat@gmail.com |
