Thread: CreateProcess() + Command Line

To send commands to cmd from the command line, you must use either the "/C" or "/K" switches. Look at "help cmd". So your call to runScripts would be e.g.:

Code:

runScripts( " /K echo howdy");

You are essentially re-implementing "system" as this is pretty much what it does.

This works for me:

Code:

int main()
{
    STARTUPINFO si = {sizeof(STARTUPINFO)};
    PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
    CreateProcess( "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe",
                   " /K echo test > test2.txt",
                   NULL, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);
}
