well, if you are doing a console application one thing you could try =
would be:
=20
system(" path\to\the\batchfile.bat");
=20
anything beyond that I would not be able to tell you about.

Hello,
I am writing a program which asks the user whether they want to =
execute (open) a batch file or not.=20
I tried using the fopen function but it seems to only enable you to =
write to a file or read from a file (e.g. calculate the number of words =
in a given file).=20
What I want to do is open an external file. Is there a command for this? =

OK,
Your terms are mixed up. In C/C++, opening a file means getting it ready to
be read and/or written from/into by your code.
Open does _not_ mean to execute a file. For executing a file, you need
system() which is in <cstdlib>.

Thnaks for the help. I tried using the execute statement but it cam up with the following error: "/Programming/c_programming/c/practical_c/file_execute.c D:\Programming\c_programming\c\practical_c\D cstdlib.h: No such file or directory." It seems as if its looking for the header file in the same directory as the source file. Why does it only do this with <cstdlib.h> and not <stdlib.h> or indeed <stdio.h> ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mat...@Ve...> To: <mag...@nt...>; <Dev...@li...> Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 11:07 PM Subject: RE: [Dev-C++] opening files in c > OK, > > Your terms are mixed up.

There are no include file called "cstdio.h" In older c++, the file was called "stdlib.h" and was actually part of the C standard. In the current C++ standard, the file is called "cstdlib", i.e. no ".h" extension. If you look at the answer you got before, it shows <cstdlib>, i.e. your like should look like: #include <cstdlib> /Per W On Fri, 4 Mar 2005, daniel wrote: > Thnaks for the help.
