Re: calling a dos command in a program

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You could also use SHFileOperation to do this kind of thing.

Look up system or _wsystem if you must use a command


int system( const char *command );

int _wsystem( const wchar_t *command );

I want to call a command like "del xxx.txt" from within a vc++ (console
app)
program.

I've tried shellexecute but lo luck (below).

ShellExecute(NULL,_T("open"), _T("del"), _T("chb.txt"),_T(""), SW_SHOW);
