Im using DOS, but now im used to execute it in the application oam

From a command prompt (not DOS), type the name of your program followed by any command-line parameters that it supports.

But then it just opens the program even though i supplied parameters oam

[David Crow]

Which means you aren't doing anything with them. Look at:

GetCommandLine()
__argc/__argv
CWinApp::m_lpCmdLine (MFC)

I've been having network problems! Anyway i'm able to run it from Debug folder like F:\Debug>filename file1 file2 can you run this code from the command line #include #include void main( VOID ) { STARTUPINFO si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) ); si.cb = sizeof(si); ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) ); // Start the child process. if( !CreateProcess( NULL, // No module name (use command line). TEXT("MyChildProcess"), // Command line. NULL, // Process handle not inheritable. NULL, // Thread handle not inheritable. FALSE, // Set handle inheritance to FALSE. 0, // No creation flags. NULL, // Use parent's environment block. NULL, // Use parent's starting directory. &si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure. &pi ) // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure. ) { printf( "CreateProcess failed (%d).\n", GetLastError() ); return; } // Wait until child process exits. WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE ); // Close process and thread handles. CloseHandle( pi.hProcess ); CloseHandle( pi.hThread ); }

Well im having problems with the below code in the bold and italic line, because i don't want to hardcode the process which i want to create (mychildprocess). I want it to be one of the commandline arguments. [code] // Start the child process. if( !CreateProcess( NULL, // No module name (use command line). TEXT("MyChildProcess"), // Command line. NULL, // Process handle not inheritable. NULL, // Thread handle not inheritable. FALSE, // Set handle inheritance to FALSE. 0, // No creation flags. NULL, // Use parent's environment block. NULL, // Use parent's starting directory. &si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure. &pi ) // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure. ) [/code] So what can i replace TEXT with? oam

Per MSDN: The lpApplicationName parameter can be NULL. In that case, the module name must be the first white space-delimited token in the lpCommandLine string. You've not specified a valid module name for the lpCommandLine parameter.

I dont understand that, if i specify the MyChildProcess as the commandline argument it execute correctly, but then if another process which has not been specified there it doesn't execute it but instead it still execute the hardcoded one. And what should i specify for the lpCommandLine parameter? oam

Ive solve it by putting argv[] oam
