system() param
Author
What would I write in system(...) to get it to launch a executable with parameters(for the executable)?
.lick
system( "executable.exe arg1 arg2" );

You could use ShellExecute
int main(){ShellExecute(NULL,"open","notpade.exe mydoc.txt",NULL,NULL);return 0;} quote:Original post by Pipo DeClown
Luke, the function takes 6 parameters!!!
What the code thén?
ShellExecute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), "open", "myExecutable.exe", "-param1 is_this", "C:\Space\Chocolate\etc", SW_SHOWNORMAL);
Passing null to the directory argument will result in opening the file from the current directory. Passing null to the parameter argument opens the file without passing any parameters.
I think you can use
system(), but I'm not exactly sure how. Maybe the start command. [ Google || Start Here || ACCU || MSDN || STL || GameCoding || BarrysWorld || E-Mail Me ]

I think it''s someting with the ''-''sign before the parameters, but in my version of XP(Pro) it works, but on the other versions of windows(9x, Home) it doesnt work.
