    Post A Little help here

    hi,,,

    consider this program,
    Code:
    #include<process.h>
    
    int main()
    {
           System("DIR");
           return 0;
    }
    this actually prints the contents of the local directory,, is there any way that i can use the result of that system call...

    ** like storing in a file

    Regards,
    Rajasekaran

    dir > a.txt
    or use the Windows API directly, without using SYSTEM call that is unsecure

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
