Running another program

How do you make a program activate a different console application and input values into it?

I'm guessing this is far easier said than done.

Thanks for reading.

Depends quite a bit on what you are actually trying to do.

Starting a console program is pretty easy:

Code:

---

system("myprog");

---

If you want to pass arguments to it:

Code:

---

system("myprog arg1 arg2");

---

However, if you want to interact more than that with the application, it gets more difficult. You need to explain further about what you want to do, if that's the case.

That would depend on how the program you are starting in itself takes input values. If you describe that, then we can give more suitable advice.
