Calling .exe withing project.
-
Hello. I'm curious how you call an executable from within a VC project? So I have a .exe that i want to call to generate some files from within my program. Would like to be able to do something like this: void Do () { Call ("foo.exe", "command line args") ; } How do I do this? Is there a windows equivalent or similar? I need to pass it command line arguments. Thoughts?

ANSI standard c++ for console programs would be
system("foo.exe command line args");. I would assume that it would be valid for use in VC++.

Use
CreateProcess()orShellExecute().WinExec()can be used for 16-bit systems, andsystem()is an antiquated function brought over from Unix.
