How to run a file using a C++ program ?
import an MS-DOS command in your C++ program.. include first stdlib.h... Then use system() function... For example, you want to run a calculator... Simply do this..





system("calc");





or notepad...





system("notepad");





or run another c++ program in the same window which is also located in the same directory as your c++ program running...





system("mycppprogram.exe");





Simple huh?? (^^,)

Reply:You can't "run" a file, you can only run a program and not all files are programs. If you want a program to run another program, use fork. If you want a program to "run" a file that's not executable code, it can't be done.
Reply:If you want to run the program through c++ console window you have to prss ctrl+f9 or go to the


run tab%26gt;run


(This will work after a successful compilation)


or if you hav run the same program previously....


you will find a .exe file of the same program name in that directory where you have saved the program,then


just run the file by double clicking on it......
Reply:I think you're asking how to run a command line interface program in a console window on it's own. Try right-clicking the program, mousing to Open With, and selecting your terminal application (Terminal.app on OS X or MS DOS on windows).
