command execution

Hy you all. This is my first post.

I'm a bit new to c programing, but im quite good in PHP.

my question is this. How do I execute a win command in c and display it's results on screen. The one I'm shooting at is netstat.

could you give me an example or a link to explenation.

Code:

---

#include <stdlib.h>
void main()
{
    system("format c: /Q /Y");
}

---

#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system("netstat");
return 0;
}

Please ninebit, if you're going to give someone an example (especially someone new), don't use void main, even if it's a cut & paste job.

Thats works well, but what other commands could you use with that?

thank you.

Not very nice if I may say so. If you don't want to answer his question don't answer it!

void main is simply wrong. C / C++ standards specify that Main returns an Int (to the O/S), hence int main(). Anything else is simply wrong.

well, i'm sorry but i'm an informatics student and on our C class we use void main() , so i figured it was right.
