Run File - magical mystery language

[wilds]

Hi, I am very new to C programming, so apologies.

I am using Windows NT. I have a programme that creates aresults txt file from a measuring machine. I have a .bat file that I store on the C drive which copies each file to the network, firstly renaming it. The issue is that I have to manually execute the .bat file each time. I would like it to run in the background.

Could someone help me with the code that at the end of my current programme will force the .bat file to run?

File name is: MEA.bat

Many thanks

system( "me.bat" );

Thanks for the reply - I couldn't get it to work - came up with an error, so i've attached the actual code - sorry should have done that in the first place to explain it clearly

What programming language is that? Looks like Pascal or Delphi.

I'm not sure - I'm really new to this, so just trying to alter the original code to do what I need

How is it related to C programming?

On a Windows system, Google for "Scheduled Tasks", and check your "help" topics, also. On Linux, for "Cron jobs", and the "man" pages.

Background programs in Windows are "services", and have no display window, at all. Services need to be installed, and registry entries changed. Google for "Windows service install program", and be sure it works on your specific version of Windows.

I couldn't add code to your program, however.

How about running your program from your bat file?

So... basically... You learn a programming language but don't know even what language you're learning? What are you using to compile/interpret it?

wilds, where did you get that script? Giving us the source will help.
