start another program

I want to write a program and under some condition to start another program. How I can start another program that is not in the same folder ??

I use system function, but it work for only in the same folder. Is there any other function which I can start another program not in the same folder ?

Thanks

You can use the system() function, here's an example:

Code:

---

#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
  system("c:\\prog.exe");
  return 0;
}

---

You can also use exec().

You would need to decide whether you want to replace the currently running process or launch a new process.

Hope this helps.
