    Simple CPP (i think)

    im trying to write a fairly simple program and i was wondering if there was a way to easily run a program from inside a simple console program. like what can be done through (in windows)
    start menu>>run
    well, im not sure that this is easy, so if it's hard, just say so
    im new

    system("pathname.exe");

    That should work.

    #include <stdlib.h>

    int system(const char *command);




    for more info, read in the .h file or type stdlib.h in search engine.
