how to read entire shell (cmd)

[Reza Shademani]

hi everybody i used int system("...") function to execute a command .now i don't know if it is possible to read the result of the command and store it somewhere. reading the line using cin is impossible before that execution terminated. if it is possible using ShellExecute please help me. thank you.

The output in command prompt can be redirected to a file this way: app.exe > outfile.txt Parse the file to get the output. I hope this helps. // Afterall, I realized that even my comment lines have bugs
