im working on a program that helps manage a network, well sort of anyway.
The point is that in command prompt, the command, net view, gives you a list of the computer names that are currently on the network.
What i need to be able to do is hav the program save this list into a variable, or even better, an array.
Is there a C++ function that returns this list, or, if not, how can i store the output of that system() statement in a variable?
You can use the WNetOpenEnum/WNetEnumResource/WNetCloseEnum functions to enumerate all resources on a network.

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
Is valid. So is any ostream. You can connect to a temporary file, dump everything from the system() command into the temp file then read and parse the file for data.Code:cout << system("command");
Enahs, that actually is not valid, because the return value of a system() command isn't the output, but is either 0 if it worked, or i cant remember what, if it doesnt.
So this only puts a 0 in the temporary file.
and envoigt, care to elaborate?
Anyone have any ideas?
You could try popen()
