Thread: Calling DOS batch Program or other programs?

Is it possible to call a DOS batch program???If so how?


Thanks alot

Look up the system command.

Code:

/* system example : DIR */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main ()
{
  int i;
  puts ("Trying to execute command DIR");
  i = system ("dir");
  if (i==-1) puts ("Error executing DIR");
  else puts ("Command successfully executed");
  return 0;
}

Example taken from www.cplusplus.com

It is of course possible just to use;
system("dir"); // or in your case
system("myprog.bat");

But then you have no error checking. (Doesn't stop most people)
