    Execute DOS Commands in C++?

    I'm trying to use that DOS command to output a dir result to a text file. Is there any way to execute the command through in my C++ program?

    If not, is there a way in C++ to get a list of all files in a directory?

    Thanks!

    Yes, there is:
    Code:
    #include <stdlib.h> 
    
    int main (int argc, char* argv[]) 
    { 
       system("dir C:\\temp > C:\\temp\\out.txt");
       return 0;
    }
