thanks
Alright, basically system() lets you use any of the DOS commands.

No, not exactly. The system command passes its argument to the operating system's shell. The shell then processes it as it would were you giving it that command from a console yourself. The reason I say "not exactly", is because system is an ANSI Standard defined function. It will function on all operating systems which implement C to the standard. This means on the Mac, *nix, Sun, etc, none of which have "DOS" natively.Originally Posted by MadCow257
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Look at www.cprogramming.com/tips/. Near the middle you'll find a short article by a really handsome guy called, "Executing system commands". Read it.
er, I assumed he was on Windows
It's a pretty fair assumption considering

Regardless of what system you're on, it's often a bad programming practice, especially if you post code for help and people on a linux box can't compile and run your code correctly.
