[Dev-C++] Launching an application within a C++ code.

[Asfe e <e_...@ho...>]

Hi,

I’m trying to run an application (could be any exe.) from within my code.
What is the best way to pass a string to cmdStr ? Can it be replaced?

Btw, anyone dealing with Unit testing ? Please write to me.

thanks,

Seth.

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>

void main(void)
{
  CHAR cmdStr[100];
  STARTUPINFO startUpInfo;
  PROCESS_INFORMATION procInfo;
  BOOL success;


  GetStartupInfo(&startUpInfo);

  success=CreateProcess(0,
	           cmdStr,
		   0,
	                   0,
	            FALSE,
  CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE,
                                   0,
	                   0,
	   &startUpInfo,
	      &procInfo);
  if (!success)
    cout << "Error opening wsImporter: "
         << GetLastError() << endl;


    WaitForSingleObject(procInfo.hProcess,
                        INFINITE);
}



//Application paths:

//C:\Program Files\WinScribe\wsiauthor.exe             for running Author
//C:\Program Files\WinScribe\Importer\wsImporter.exe   for wsImporter Author
