Re: [Dev-C++] Opening Apps

[carlos D. M. <cg...@wo...>]

The line
system("app.exe");
will run the program app.exe.

For opening the help.html when pressing H type:
if(*******=='H')
system("start  harddisk:/fullpath/help.html");

Till now I don't achieve to do it with filenames which use spaces. It must be
done as with the command prompt, cmd.exe, but I try everything and nothing
works
