Use of DOS Command

[fazzawa]

Hi All,
Please bare with me, I have recently started learning C and have hit a sticking point,

I am using TCLite to edit, compile etc .. excellent in my limited opinion, however i seem to be unable to use the System command

e.g system("dir");

but nothing happens, the rest of the program runs fine, it just completely ignores the line, no errors or warnings - I have tried it with various command all the same result.
I follow the syntax in the help files for TClite but to no avail
Can anyone give me guidance?
Thanks in advance for any help!

what header do i have to include for the system() function?

[fazzawa]

You need either

process.h
or
stdlib.h
Hope you have more luck than me friend,
have a great one

the stdlib.h header worked fine for me.

thanks!
