System Calls && Variables

is it possible to have a system call that has a variable in it?
eg. if the system call had parameters and you needed input from a user for those parameters?

ie: "g++ main.cpp -o main.exe"

If it is possible can you tell me how to do it?
thanks

system() will NOT interpret anything other than a string,

input the variables and compile them into a string using

int sprintf( char *buffer, const char *format [, argument] ... );

what header file is system(); declared in?

its probably compiler dependant, try stdlibh.or process.h

ok thanks that worked :)
(stdlib.h)

Steven? you didn't know that man?

everyone knows that you need stdlib.h to use the system() function

lol shaddap :-P
